Substantive developments and shifting priorities have led to significant changes in corporate reporting regulations in recent years. Dr. Ferdy van Beest, Associate Professor of Corporate Reporting at Nyenrode Business University and Director of Sustainability at Flynth adviseurs en accountants (Flynth Dutch auditors and consultants), emphasizes that stakeholders must make substantial efforts in order to keep up with changing regulations. Van Beest sees a large knowledge gap between scientific research and practical applications in corporate reporting. It is his mission to bridge this gap.
