The CSSF has released a statement of Long Form Reports. Given the impact of COVID-19 on audited entities and funds, as well as on the auditors, the CSSF has decided that where necessary the long form report may exceptionally be remitted up to four months after the annual general meeting of the audited entity or fund, excluding delays for such AGMs granted by the government through exceptional measures. Both delays shall not be applied cumulatively.
