Andreas Barckow, Chair of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), delivered a keynote address at the European Accounting Association (EAA) Annual Congress on 15 May 2024.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is both an honour and a great pleasure to be invited to deliver the keynote address at this year’s EAA Congress. I would like to thank the European Accounting Association and the current leadership on its behalf for their long-standing support of our work at the IFRS Foundation and for the countless valuable contributions and interactions over the many years. I would also like to thank the organising committee for this conference and Cătălin, in particular, for their persistence in inviting me again after the 2020 Congress had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Sad as it was then, look to the bright side: you would have received a speech by a national standard-setter, now you got a free upgrade!
