Executive Summary
The CSSF's January 2026 enforcement report documents the results of its 2025 examination campaign on 2024 financial and non-financial disclosures by issuers under Luxembourg's Transparency Law.

Suggested Considerations
- *Financial Information (IFRS):
- *Enhanced Note Disclosures: Provide sufficient disaggregation and additional information in financial statement notes for material amounts and variances, particularly where information is not presented on the face of primary statements.

- *Cash Flow Statement Presentation: Ensure cash flows are presented on a gross basis (not net), exclude non-cash transactions, and disclose restricted cash balances with accompanying management commentary as required by paragraph 48 of IAS 7.
- *Segment Reporting Completeness: Clearly disclose all income and expense items in segment reporting, even when not separately provided to or reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), if they are included in reported segment results.
- *Going Concern Assessment: Maintain high transparency regarding accounting policies and judgments applied when classifying going concern assumptions.
- *Non-Financial Information (ESRS):
