Preface

The positive role that a strong private sector could play in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals is clear. Large as well as small enterprises need to grow to effectively attain the Goals. The growth of enterprises requires financing from both domestic and foreign sources. Reliable and globally comparable reporting on both the financial and non-financial aspects of the economic performance and financial standing of enterprises is an essential part of the global financial infrastructure. With this in mind, Member States of the United Nations established the Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting, to contribute to the global efforts aimed at promoting reliable and harmonized corporate reporting.
