COVID-19: Accounting obligations and reports – Regulatory aspects

On 7 May 2020, the Luxembourg Parliament passed the draft law n°7540 which relates to the extension of certain deadlines relating to accounting obligations of entities of the financial sector, including, inter alia, SICARs, SIFs and UCIs, in order to take into account the exceptional circumstances caused by COVID-19 (the “Law n°7540”).

As a result of various comments made by the State Council on 3 and 23 April 2020, the scope of the Law n°7540 is tighter than the one expected in the initial draft law as the RAIF, the SICAR (Part II) and the SIF (Part II) are no longer covered.
