Course Overview

Corporate reporting for sustainability can no longer be considered optional or niche. This 8-week programme will help accountants understand key reporting frameworks, tools, and metrics, and equip participants to address the sustainability opportunities and challenges they already face.

As sustainability issues (or ESG: Environmental, Social and Governance) become increasingly relevant to reports, risk management and strategy development, accountants need to be able to understand what this rapidly-changing area means for their organisations and their roles.

This programme has been designed to provide accountants with a strong foundation in sustainability and ESG issues and how they are relevant to their business, organisation, practice, and clients.
