Our Mission
Establish, manage, and enhance transparent and consistent reporting standards for the real estate industry fostering comparability and informed investment decision-making.
We accomplish our mission through three key pillars: Lead, Collaborate, Promote.

For the industry, by the industry
While established standard-setting bodies like the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the CFA Institute (creators of the Global Investment Performance Standards – GIPS®) provide broad financial reporting frameworks, they do not fully address the unique needs of institutional real estate investment reporting. The Reporting Standards were developed to fill this critical gap.
