The Compendium of Standards lists the various economic and financial standards that are internationally accepted as important for sound, stable and well functioning financial systems.

The international community attaches much importance to the adoption and implementation of these standards because of their beneficial effects on the stability of financial systems both inside countries and globally.

The compendium highlights 12 key standards which the FSF has designated as deserving of priority implementation, taking account of country circumstances.

The compendium is an initiative of the FSF and is a joint product of the various standard-setting bodies represented on the FSF. It is reviewed and updated periodically.

In this section, users will find access to: 

- complete standards;

- supporting documents; and

- underlying assessment methodologies.
