Sustainability Update

 

At CPA Ireland we are constantly innovating to deliver valuable knowledge to members and students alike.

Technology and Sustainability are two of the most relevant topics within the accountancy profession. CPA Ireland delivers knowledge on both topics through the Digitalisation and Sustainability Hubs.

This month we are highlighting an upcoming online webinar entitled Developing Green Skills for Finance Professionals which will be held on 8 June. Click here to register for this free webinar.

New guidance to help professional accountants and finance professionals deliver robust greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting has been released today by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and We Mean Business Coalition (WMBC), in partnership with Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), Global Accounting Alliance (GAA) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

The first part of the guidance, 8 Steps to Enhance GHG Reporting: A Roadmap for Accounting and Finance Professionals, provides finance and accounting professionals with a roadmap to engage with others across their business to prepare for GHG emissions reporting requirements aligned to financial reporting processes. While the second, GHG Reporting Building Blocks for Accountantsequips accountants with the technical guidance necessary to collect and enhance the quality of data related to all scopes of GHG emissions at individual entity and group levels.
