Towards a SM prediction for CP violation in charm

We provide an overview of the current experimental and theoretical status of charm CP violation and discuss recent progress in obtaining a Standard Model prediction for $\mathrm{\Delta }{a}_{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{r}}$ using the framework of light-cone sum rules. Furthermore, we present new results for the ratios of the direct CP asymmetries and of the branching fractions for the modes $D^0\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$ and $D^0\to K^{+}{K}^{-}$.
