Sustainability reporting what, why and howSheela Mistry
This document discusses sustainability reporting, including what it is, why organizations do it, and how to go about the reporting process. Sustainability reporting involves communicating an organization's environmental, social and governance performance. It is becoming more common for organizations to produce sustainability reports to disseminate non-financial information to stakeholders. While reporting frameworks provide guidance, organizations must ensure reporting adds value through benchmarking and continuous improvement rather than just marketing achievements. Effective sustainability reporting requires strategy, goal-setting, performance measurement and using a recognized framework.

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.

1. Sustainability Disclosure—its reporting and assurance—
offers a unique opportunity to enhance the relevance
and attractiveness of the accountancy profession.
IFAC’s 4-Challenges are designed to help our profession
achieve this goal.
Sustainability
Opportunities and Challenges for our Profession
2. Champion an
Integrated
Mindset
FirstChallenge
Sustainability Starts Inside Companies that put sustainability-related factors on
equal footing with financial and performance-related goals and objectives.
Bridging Information Silos that may exist between finance/accounting departments and
sustainability teams will bring rigor to sustainability-related information/disclosures.
Connectivity & Integration in Reporting of sustainability and financial information
enhances decision usefulness of reporting/information and promotes long-term value for
shareholders and broader society.
3. Global
Baseline for
Reporting
SecondChallenge
A Harmonized Global System for sustainability reporting—built upon ISSB’s financially
material disclosures—offers opportunity to avoid unnecessary cost / complexity / confusion.
A Building Blocks Approach to sustainability reporting allows jurisdictions to compliment
the ISSB global baseline with additional disclosures that address local objectives.
Alignment / Interoperability / Equivalence starts with implementing ISSB
requirements—without carveouts—and then prescribing any incremental, local requirements.
Jurisdiction-specific standard setting that seeks alignment or interoperability with ISSB standards
is not the path to a harmonized, global system—like IFRS Accounting Standards.
4. Assurance,
Ethics and
Independence
ThirdChallenge
High-Quality Assurance depends on ISSA 5000 becoming the global baseline for general
purpose sustainability assurance engagements, for all practitioners.
An ESG-Specific Code for independence and ethics in sustainability reporting and
assurance—for all practitioners (e.g., IESSA) delivers an integrated solution (along with ISSA 5000).
Public Interest—IESBA and the IAASB are internationally-recognized, global standard-setting
bodies with a public interest mandate—delivering standards designed for all practitioners.
A Level Playing Field built on consistent regulatory oversight is needed. Otherwise, investors
and other users of sustainability information will not be able to rely on what companies report.
5. Capacity
Building
FourthChallenge
Awareness Raising for a shared vision of a global system for sustainability disclosure that
builds on the complimentary—not competing—nature of financial impact and societal impact
information.
Education—training, learning, and skills development that marry existing skills and
competencies of professional accountants with new ESG knowledge.
Research and data facilitates dialogue about high quality disclosure, assurance, governance,
and regulation; provides metrics for tracking progress; and informs evidence-based policy.
Focus on Companies who must prepare for mandatory disclosure requirements and develop
systems, processes, internal controls and governance to support high quality reporting / assurance.
6. PAOs need a roadmap for success
to meet these challenges and capitalize on
opportunities to leverage our unique experience and
competencies.
This includes working proactively and collaboratively
with local regulators
