Dr. Bodo Kesselmeyer participated in the DVFA podcast series “13+1” together with Christoph Schlienkamp. The discussion focused on the growing importance of structured corporate reporting data for AI-supported analysis workflows, automation and future European capital market infrastructures.
The podcast highlighted the strategic relevance of XBRL, ESEF and the European Single Access Point (ESAP) for improving transparency, accessibility and interoperability of corporate reporting data in Europe. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of machine-readable corporate disclosures as a prerequisite for scalable AI applications in financial analysis and investment research.
The discussion also addressed the competitive implications for European capital markets and the need for more open and standardized financial data infrastructures comparable to the SEC EDGAR ecosystem in the United States.
Dr. Bodo Kesselmeyer is Deputy Chair of the DVFA Commission on Corporate Analysis and a newly appointed associated member of the EFFAS Capital Markets Commission (CMC).
