Microfinance Reporting Standards Committee – Research and Input

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.

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.



A DRAFT white paper on Reporting Standards and the proposed Committee is available for review here.

Practitioner input into the research and Committee formation is valued. To fill out the survey and to participate in this process, please contact Drew Tulchin, Project Facilitator, drew@socialenterprise.net or click here
