Amendment to draft financial reporting act demanded
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) has demanded amendment to the draft Financial Reporting Act-2007, which the government is reportedly going to enact as law to establish a Financial Reporting Council, says an ICAB press release.

A delegation of the ICAB headed by its President M Farhad Hussain met Finance Adviser Dr Mirza Azizul Islam at his office on Sunday to place the demand.

Some provisions of the proposed FRA-2007 such as composition of the council, standards setting procedure, public interest oversight of professional accounting bodies that directly concern ICAB were discussed.
