Europe: EVCA publishes Professional Standards Handbook

The European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA) has published a handbook of professional standards: see here (pdf). The handbook identifies the principles of governance, transparency and accountability expected of EVCA members. It is based on and replaces several existing standards including the EVCA Corporate Governance Guidelines (published in 2005 and last updated in 2010; available here, pdf). The Handbook also includes the new IPEV Investor Reporting Guidelines.
