“By conducting a seminar on the reports of public agricultural companies, we once again want to
emphasize the importance of open and transparent dialogue with the media, which we stick to from the
outset of our agricultural holding’s existence, – said KSG Agro General Director Sergey Mazin, – We thank
the journalists for their attention to the activities and financial performance of our agricultural holding.
We are confident that after this workshop it will be easier for the journalists to evaluate reporting of
companies independently.
“I am pleased to note that among the Ukrainian agricultural companies we have agricultural holdings,
which give the exact and correct use of the IFRS standards the biggest priority, – says Andrei Popov, a
partner at the auditing company Kreston GCG, – Holding the seminar together with KSG Agro we aimed
to help journalists interpret the statements correctly, highlighted Popov.
