New composition of the EFRAG User Panel

EFRAG is happy to announce the new composition of its User Panel as approved on 11 February by its Financial Reporting Technical Expert Group (EFRAG FR TEG). The Panel provides input, from a user perspective, on corporate reporting issues considered by EFRAG FR TEG, where relevant, enhanced with sustainability reporting considerations.
