Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has become an increasingly important area of focus for standard setters, regulators, and stakeholders. This course provides an overview of how ESG considerations intersect with accounting and attestation services, with attention to developments affecting both preparers and assurance providers. Participants will review current ESG-related initiatives and projects underway at the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Governmental Accounting Standards Board, and the AICPA. The course also explores the types of services CPAs may provide in connection with ESG reporting, including advisory and attestation engagements, and discusses how these engagements differ in scope and responsibility. Designed for CPAs seeking to understand the evolving ESG landscape, this course helps participants recognize where ESG fits within existing professional standards and how CPAs can support organizations seeking credibility and assurance over ESG information.
