IFAC believes that the accountancy profession will have an essential role to play in resolving the current crisis and in building a reformed international financial system. Therefore, IFAC would like to support the G20 in its work in facilitating change throughout the world. In doing so, IFAC submitted separate letters (of which this is one) to three of the four G20 Working Groups. In each letter, IFAC provides recommendations in response to the general objectives stated in the G20’s Declaration from the Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy issued on November 15, 2008.
