International Organisation

Our goal is to establish a solid knowledge base for the international financial community. International cooperation between different analyst societies began already years ago. In this context, EFFAS Benelux is a member of the European federation EFFAS – European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies – and the global association ACIIA – Association of Certified International Investment Analysts. Within these federations, local societies actively collaborate on various topics, including financial analysis and communication, training updates, IFRS taxonomy, ESG, and integrated reporting.

We maintain regular contact with EFFAS and ACIIA and represent EFFAS Benelux within their governing bodies. In addition to EFFAS and ACIIA, our board members participate in consulting organisations such as EFRAG, XBRL, ECMI and ESMA on behalf of EFAS Benelux.
