Speech: IASB Chair’s virtual keynote in Japan Hans Hoogervorst, Chair of the International Accounting Standards Board (Board), delivered the keynote speech at a virtual seminar on IFRS Standards, organised by the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He discussed the impact of covid-19 on the Board’s work, developments in IFRS Standards during his chairmanship and future challenges. Dear colleagues, dear friends it is a pleasure to address this online conference, organised by my friends at the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants, JICPA. In an ideal world I would now be in Japan, meeting many of you face-to-face. But unfortunately, covid has made this impossible. Japan has always been a special country for me. It is, in fact, the country I have visited the most during my tenure more than once every year. I still hope that a vaccination will make it possible for me to say goodbye to you in person sometime next year!
