Course Details
ESG and climate related reporting is slowly being brought into annual reports starting from big organisations and is expected to filter down to smaller organisations in the future.
In this course we consider what ESG reporting standards are available and who they apply to as well as how these requirements might filter down to smaller companies. We also consider how climate change is already impacting the financial statements of firms and what you need to look out for at your clients.
This course covers:
- A brief overview of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards
- The current regulations around ESG reporting
- FRS 102 and climate change reporting
- Review of climate related issues in financial statements and annual reports
