Revisorer påtager sig en rolle i at forbedre selskabernes rapportering om klima

Internationalt er der markant øget fokus på, at revisorstanden kan bidrage til at forbedre klimarapporteringen hos store selskaber. Minerva Analytics skriver, at ”a group of prominent accounting bodies, representing over 2.5 million accountants globally, have signed an “urgent” call to action pushing the profession to agree standards on climate change. The 14 bodies and 13 chief executives, who are all members of the Prince of Wales’s Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) Accounting Bodies Network , have called on their industry to help the companies they work with respond to climate change with the “urgency and scale required”. The bodies – which include the ICAEW, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, and International Federation of Accountants – believe the accountancy profession has a vital role in achieving climate change mitigation and adaptation at individual businesses, industry sector and economy-wide levels.“ Også danske FSR arbejder med dette tema .
