The virtual event will give the opportunity to discuss with decision makers and key stakeholders the two EFRAG reports on EU sustainability reporting as well as the proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and to share information about INTEREST, an Erasmus+ funded project of which EFAA is a partner. What are the implications for SMEs and the SMPs that prepare their reports and advise them?

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need for SMPs to transform their practices to survive and succeed. This transformation demands the rapid adoption of digital technologies and business diversification through the offering of new services.

The virtual event gives the opportunity to discuss with decision makers and key stakeholders the EU SME Strategy. The consequences of the pandemic on SMEs and on SMPs are highlighted.

Speakers are Martin de Bie and Noël de Rudder. Key topic is the importance of digitalization for SMPs, all the more vital as a result of the pandemic, and how EFAA’s Digital Competency Maturity Model (DCMM) can be used to help SMPs raise their digital competency.

Speakers are Gerhard Huemer, Director for Economic & Fiscal Policy at SMEunited, and Paul Thompson, Director, EFAA. Gerhard shares the key findings from a recent SMEunited survey, including that lack of liquidity and insolvency are major concerns for SMEs, and Paul explains how SMPs can help SMEs maintain liquidity using business-continuity tools.
