From 2 to 6 June 2025, Dr Richard Pucci (Monash University, Australia) was a guest of the Chair of Accounting and Auditing at the University of Passau. As part of the AFT Brown Bag Seminar, he presented his paper entitled 'Accounting standards and the construction of evidence-informed decisions: The endorsement of IFRS 9 in the EU'. In collaboration with Thomas Riise Johansen (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark), the paper examines the construction of evidence-informed decisions in the context of financial reporting regulation, using the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group's (EFRAG) endorsement project on IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as a case. Office visits with doctoral students also took place as part of Dr Pucci's visit.
