The Impact of New Technologies on Financial Analysis

On 5 March 2025, the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr Jyoti Jeetun, opened the 19th Inspection Workshop of the International Forum of Independent Audit Regulators (IFIAR).

The three-day event, organised by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in collaboration with IFIAR, brings together audit regulators from several member countries to discuss best practices, challenges and how to improve the quality of global auditing.

In her opening address, the Minister highlighted the role of financial analysis regulators in preserving public trust in financial reporting. According to her, this trust is essential to drive healthy and sustainable economic growth.

During the ceremony, the Minister expressed Mauritius’ determination to maintain rigorous financial standards, reaffirming the country’s commitment to meeting international standards. Thus, she underlines the importance of the Financial Reporting Council in the application of these standards.

This forum brings together 56 global jurisdictions, representing various continents. Since its creation in 2006, the strengthening, monitoring and consistency of financial practices on a global scale have been among the priorities.
