“SCF is one of the fastest growing trade products, and while uptake of the Standard Definitions has been promising so far, further work is required to ensure alignment across a complex ecosystem of stakeholders involved in international supply chains,” stated Hausherr.
“Recent developments in the accounting treatment of some techniques have also underlined this need for engagement, and I am delighted to be leading this important initiative.”
The forum was established to develop, publish and champion agreed standard market definitions for Supply Chain Finance.
Hauscherr played a prominent role in drafting Standard Definitions and the Wolfsberg/ICC/BAFT Trade Finance Principles.
