Sustainability reporting is changing from day to day so it is important that accountants from all sectors and from small to very large companies keep abreast of the latest developments. This session will take delegates through from the very basic concepts of climate change through to the international and European sustainability standards and the latest EC Omnibus announced in February 2025.

Robert Kirk will cover the following topics during this webinar:

• Climate essentials for accountants (August 2023)
• The CSRD and the TCFD pillars and disclosures
• IFRS S1 and S2 and draft European Sustainability Reporting Standards
• EC Omnibus February 2025
• EFRAG   Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for non-listed SMEs
• IFRS Sustainability – Education Material and FRS 102 Factsheet

By attending this session it will be easier for delegates to understand where to access the information on sustainability and to be aware of the current position as sustainability rapidly becomes a key reporting issue.

The session will be of most interest to preparers of financial statements caught by the CSRD it but also be useful for those preparing FRS 102 as the sustainability standards undoubtedly will be implemented in a simplified form for SMEs. 

The entry level subject would be at a foundation level as delegates will be assumed to have little or only basic knowledge of the impact of ESG reporting. It also represents knowledge that all financial accountants need to know.
