EIR Consulting and Verification

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, several cases of inadequate investment reporting were exposed. In response, the CFA Institute introduced the Principles of Effective Investment Reporting (EIR).

Adopted by over 1,000 firms globally, EIR, when combined with GIPS compliance, offers firms a significant competitive edge in today’s marketplace.

Additionally, it includes recommendations for utilizing third-party assurance to bolster the credibility of the reports (read more).
