Sustainability Disclosures – Preparing for Audit, Assurance and Board Sign-Off

As the first tranche of mandatory sustainability disclosures comes into effect, entities across Groups 1, 2 and 3 are preparing for a new level of scrutiny across governance, data, controls and reporting.

AFIA is pleased to host this member webinar in partnership with KPMG exploring the practical realities of preparing, reviewing and signing off sustainability disclosures from an auditor’s perspective. The session will examine how auditors are approaching the new requirements in practice, where common gaps and risks are emerging, and what disclosing entities should be doing now to ensure their disclosures are decision-useful, defensible and audit-ready.

This session will provide practical guidance to support cross-functional readiness and help members strengthen assurance pathways as sustainability reporting moves into a formal, regulated regime.

Key Discussion Points

  • How auditors are interpreting the first tranche of sustainability reporting requirements

  • Key judgement areas and common issues emerging from early implementation

  • Expectations around governance, controls, data quality and documentation

  • How sustainability disclosures interact with existing financial, risk and compliance frameworks

  • What boards and executives need to be comfortable with before sign-off

This session is highly relevant for AFIA members working across sustainability and ESG, finance, risk, compliance, internal audit, governance and executive leadership, as well as directors responsible for approving sustainability disclosures.
