EFFAS Annual General Meeting 2010 in Geneva
Two major events dominated the organisation's activities in 2010: the Annual General
Meeting in June and the EFFAS Summer School.
The EFFAS Annual General Meeting took place on 25 June 2010 and was hosted by the
Swiss Financial Analysts Association, SFAA. The agenda included the presentation of
the financial year 2009 annual report, EFFAS’ commission reports, perspectives and
projects, approval of two new member societies, as well as the elections for the members
of the Executive Management Committee (EMC) and the chairman. Following the
votes, the newly elected EMC member was Hans Buysse from Belgium, for a period of
three years. The other EMC members are: Vincent Bazi (France), Marianne Flink
(Sweden), Friedrich Mostböck (Austria), Jesús López Zaballos (Spain). Giampaolo Trasi
from AIAF, Italy, has been re-elected as chairman of EFFAS. The headquarters of EFFAS
moved to Frankfurt in conjunction with the relocation of the DVFA offices.
EFFAS has a voice at the EU in Brussels, ESMA, and IASB/IFRS due to the relevant
EFFAS Commissions. EFFAS now has a presence also within the XBRL community and
the Integrated Reporting community. Collaboration with other international organisations
(e.g. ECMI, EFRAG, GIPS) has been expanded and improved.
