Pocket Guide to the Microfinance Financial Reporting Standards

A maturing microfinance industry needs standardized methods to measure and analyze financial performance and risk management. Microfinance Financial Reporting Standards: Measuring Financial Performance of Microfinance Institutions (hereafter the MFRS) addresses this need. When published in early 2011, the MFRS will update The SEEP Network’s 2005 financial performance publication, Measuring Performance of Microfinance Institutions: A Framework for Reporting, Analysis, and Monitoring. The MFRS is designed for use by all  MFIs: NGOs, nonbank financial institutions or companies, commercial banks, rural banks, credit unions, and cooperatives.

This document is a condensed version of the Microfinance Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS): Measuring Financial Performance of Microfinance Institutions that will be published by The SEEP Network in 2011.
