ESG assurance is no longer optional...
Your clients will expect you to understand it.
Sustainability assurance is here and accountants are perfectly placed to lead. As global standards like ISSA 5000 and IFRS S1 & S2 reshape the reporting landscape, businesses everywhere are under pressure to verify what they disclose. That’s where you come in. With the right knowledge, accountants can turn sustainability into a powerful new advisory service; one that’s rooted in trust, credibility, and compliance.
This 5-minute technical briefing gives you what you need to stay credible, compliant, and client-ready.
ESG is becoming part of the accountant’s job description.
Whether you offer assurance services or simply prepare reports, sustainability regulation is now part of your world. ISSA 5000—the new global sustainability assurance standard—is what clients will expect you to understand. This briefing gets you up to speed in minutes, not months.
