The Executive Committee is the operational body that supports and monitors the internal working group appointed for the review procedure to ensure that all important topics are addressed and prioritised in line with the Commission. The appointed working group is instructed to base its information and analyses broadly and can therefore also consider external information such as feedback from practitioners, academic literature, expert opinions, etc. Depending on the complexity and scope, a review procedure can take between a few months up to roughly 1 year. The result of the review procedure serves as a basis for the Commission to decide on further steps, which may include initiating a project to revise an existing or prepare a new recommendation. The results of the review procedure are publicly communicated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1478549710283{margin-left: 20px !important;border-top-width: 3px !important;padding-top: 45px !important;padding-right: 45px !important;padding-left: 45px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-top-color: #ff3333 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Grounds for a review procedure:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure the timeliness, relevance and comprehensiveness of the recommendations<\/li>\n<li>Assist in the case of application difficulties<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate regulatory gaps and overregulation<\/li>\n<li>Safeguard the practical relevance of the Swiss GAAP FER<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1480004216838{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1478551142395{padding-top: 100px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;phase2&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Phase 2: Project implementation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"lead\">Depending on the outcome of the review procedure, the Commission may decide to implement a project, which means that the project would enter Phase 2. Alternatively, however, the Commission can also conclude after the review procedure that no adjustments are necessary, in which case there would be no further steps after Phase 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">The duration of the project again strongly depends on the project scope, the complexity and the various claims of interest groups. On average, Phase 2 lasts about 2 years.
