Managing Complexity Task Force
As part of the FRC's 2011-14 Strategic Plan, the Managing Complexity Task Force was established to review the issue of complexity in financial reporting – in particular the sources of complexity in reporting, and possible ways to manage this complexity.
On 29 May 2012, the Task Force released a report Managing Complexity in Financial Reporting detailing the outcomes from the review, and requested comments from interested parties by 31 July 2012. Fifteen submissions were received in response to the invitation to comment.
The Task Force has considered the submissions received, and on 3 October 2012 issued a report Managing Complexity in Financial reporting – findings from the consultation process outlining the findings drawn from the submissions.
