This online conference is the second part of a two-part launch event for the forthcoming volume Financial and Sustainability Disclosure Regulation (Oxford University Press), edited by Giovanni Strampelli, Anne Lafarre, and Martin Gelter. The first part of the launch took place in person on 6–7 November 2026 at Fordham Law School, New York.
Taking place on 13 November 2026 via Zoom (all times in Central European Time), this session brings together further contributing authors of the volume to present their research to an international online audience. Presentations will cover a wide range of topics including the dual role of EFRAG in financial and sustainability reporting standard-setting, sustainability reporting and directors' duties, supply chain disclosure under the CSRD and CSDDD, climate transition plans, auditor liability and independence, the IAS/IFRS development process and its transposition into European law, bank relationships and financial reporting quality, disclosure requirements in the insurance sector, and the relationship between accounting and taxation.
Organised by the Fordham Corporate Law Center and the Jean Monnet Center of Excellence for the Comparative Study of European Union Business Law at Fordham, and co-funded by the European Union, the event offers an accessible opportunity to engage directly with leading scholars on some of the most pressing questions in financial and sustainability disclosure regulation today.
