Microfinance Reporting Standards Committee – Research and Input	Financial Services Working Group	15 Jul 2008	15 Jul 2008	Financial Services
The SEEP Network Financial Services Working Group is supporting the discussion, research and input into the creation of uniform Microfinance Accounting and Reporting Standards and a Committee to lead this initiative for a three year pilot period. The Committee would represent the entire range of microfinance stakeholders and seek to streamline reporting to ensure that all stakeholder needs are met. The MIX, CGAP and the investors approached thus far have been supportive of this initiative. Reporting Standards A single set of high quality, understandable global accounting guidelines that require transparent and comparable information in general purpose financial and operational statements for microfinance institutions. With the publication of Measuring Performance of Microfinance Institutions: A framework for reporting, analysis and monitoring by the SEEP Network in 2005, the microfinance industry issued its first update to microfinance reporting standards in ten years. (The Framework was built on international consensus amongst donors, practitioners, raters and industry stakeholders.) Based on discussion with this wide range of industry actors and given the rapid pace of change in the sector, the authors suggested in the preface to the reporting standards that a microfinance standards committee be created to monitor industry developments and ensure that reporting standards keep pace with industry developments. A DRAFT white paper on the topic will be available for review soon. Practitioner input into the research and Committee formation is valued. To respond to the upcoming survey and participate in this process, please contact Drew Tulchin, Project Facilitator, drew@socialenterprise.net. *Watch for survey announcements coming soon!*
