Memberships

With over 2,800 members, the Society represents a broad base within the investment sector and advocates initiatives to advance ethics, market integrity and professional standards of practice in the financial industry and capital markets. CFA Society Germany is a local member society of CFA Institute, the global association of CFA® charterholders and financial experts with more than 165,000 members in over 163 countries and regions.*
Capital Markets Advisory Committee (CMAC)
The CMAC was created as a body that would be independent of the IASB and the IFRS Foundation, with the specific aim to provide the IASB with regular input from the international community of users of financial statements. The CMAC consists of members with extensive practical experience in analysing financial information and who are established commentators on accounting matters in their own right or through the representative bodies with which they are involved. Members are drawn from a variety of industry and geographical backgrounds and are selected by the CMAC on the merits of their professional competence as capital market participants using financial reporting information and their ability to represent capital market participants' views.*
IR Global – A different perspective
IR Global is a network of professional services firms that brings together the world's leading legal and financial advisory firms. Only one leading firm per country/jurisdiction and practice area is admitted. VALUESQUE has been designated as the exclusive member for Germany in the area of "Business & Asset Valuation".
IR Global considers the principle of the classic large service company to be outdated. It is often too focused inwardly, cannot offer the high quality standards in all sub-disciplines, is expensive and slow. Through IR Global, forward-thinking and future-oriented customers now find a credible and powerful alternative that is open, outward-looking and flexible, as well as fast, cost-effective and operating at the highest quality level.*
EFRAG FR TEG
The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) is tasked with developing and promoting European perspectives in the field of financial reporting and ensuring that these views are appropriately considered in the IASB’s standard-setting process and related international debates. The EFRAG FR TEG (Financial Reporting Technical Expert Group of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group) is a technical advisory body that supports EFRAG in developing and evaluating proposals for financial reporting. It is composed of professionals from various fields, including investors, auditing, academia, and corporate practice.
The group analyses existing and proposed financial reporting standards—particularly in the context of IFRS—and develops well-founded opinions and recommendations for EFRAG, which in turn advises the European Commission. In addition, the EFRAG FR TEG plays a central role in shaping views within the European standard-setting process. It ensures that European perspectives are taken into account in the development of international accounting standards. The group also contributes to consultations, impact analyses, and the drafting of technical papers to promote the quality and consistency of financial reporting in Europe.*
