Composition of the General Assembly
EFRAG’s activities are organised in two pillars:
- A Financial Reporting Pillar which contributes to the IASB’s standard-setting process by providing European views, including through proactive research activities, and provides technical advice to the European Commission on the endorsement of IFRS Standards; and
- A Sustainability Reporting Pillar which provides technical advice to the European Commission in the form of draft EU Sustainability Reporting Standards and/or draft amendments to EU Sustainability Reporting Standards.
