We are standing on the edge of a new frontier for organisations, accountants and corporate reporting. There has been an explosion of expectations, requirements, standards, and information around ESG Reporting in the past few years. Now we are seeing tangible outcomes, as jurisdictions coalesce around specific regulations and a few key bodies. This 4-hour course will provide a foundation for engaging with ESG Reporting.

As business moves towards more transparent reporting and more accountable reporting on non-financial information, the auditing profession must adapt to understand and provide assurance over the non-financial information reported by business. Stakeholders are placing increasing importance on reports on non-financial information, such as ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting which includes sustainability, and extended external reporting.

This interactive course will enable managers in the private and public sector to understand and apply a range of standards and tools underpinning Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting. ESG issues are becoming increasingly financially material, companies, and public sector entities are looking to improve sustainability disclosure and performance. This course will provide the foundations in a number of key standards and frameworks used for ESG disclosures and reporting.

This course is taught over two four-hour sessions and looks at the impact of climate change on financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards, both today and into the future.

In addition, standard setters, regulators, and investors have already started outlining their expectations for this area in the future, and we will consider what this may mean for financial statements going forward.

Governments are signing up to challenging climate change action targets, and other ‘green’ objectives, with considerable implications for public financial management.
