Why is it important?
Consistency and comparability with measurements - as well as up to date indices are not only important from the perspectives of facilitating greater transparency and enhanced disclosure in the financial reporting framework, but also vital in mitigating information asymmetries which in part contributed to th e build up of systemic risks during the GFC. As well as lack of adequate information on key and pivotal sectors of the economy and transmission channels, lack of effective and timely coordination was also highlighted as a contributory factor and flaw during the Crisis.
Perspectives
Harmonisation and uniformity is of great importance in coordination and facilitating better interpretation of regulations and standards on a global wide basis however a degree of flexibility is also required to ensure that tailor made provisions are incorporated to reflect jurisdiction specific matters which will also not permit undue discretion that will defeat the original goals and objectives of consistency and uniformity.
