LONDON, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICIS, a global source of commodity intelligence, today announced that the independent assurance review of its price reporting business has been successfully completed for the 12th consecutive year.

The Price Reporting Agency (PRA) principles are set out by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to ensure that commodity benchmark price reporting meets the highest standards.

“Relatively high feedstock costs in an environment of slowing demand have further sharpened the focus on costs throughout petrochemical value chains, making the credibility of pricing information ever more critical. Likewise, tightening regulatory oversight of energy markets continues to drive the need for trusted data and transparent methodologies,” said Stephen Burns, Editorial Director at ICIS. “The IOSCO principles help ensure that business decisions around resources are being based on reliable data.” 

This external audit, carried out by BDO LLP, complies with the requirements of the Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) for commodity benchmarks (paragraph 18 of Annex II) as outlined by European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). The areas assured include governance structures, controls, maintenance of Editorial integrity, and conflict management processes in relation to the creation of commodity benchmark price assessments.

This report is accompanied by BDO’s findings following an independent review of ICIS processes and policies to provide Reasonable and Limited Assurance conclusions.

“The audit supports the trust and confidence our customers have in the vital ICIS data they need more than ever to manage risk,” Burns said.
