ESG seems to be on every organization’s radar today, but many are unsure where to start or how to mature an existing ESG program. 

Join a free webinar on April 18th, where we will discuss the unique data challenges companies face in their ESG journey, the critical role internal audit and risk teams can play in ensuring the integrity of ESG reporting, and the importance of leveraging technology to streamline and underpin the assurance of your ESG efforts. 

Here’s just part of what you’ll get in this session:

• Recognize why you should start preparing for ESG assurance now and learn leading practices to position your organization for success.
• Understand the importance of connecting your organization’s financial and non-financial reporting to effectively share information, ensure consistency, and manage the risks of inaccurate disclosures and more.
• Discover the benefits of bringing internal audit and risk management teams in early to identify risks throughout the ESG reporting process and build in controls to improve the integrity of financial and non-financial reporting.
• Identify the challenges organizations face in collecting, aggregating, analyzing, and reporting a large, diverse, and disparate pool of data (much of it unstructured) to support your organization’s financial and non-financial reporting.
• Learn how integrating the ESG data handling and reporting with ESG assurance processes enhances collaboration, enables and simplifies data sharing, and provides improved transparency and confidence in the integrity of your company’s ESG disclosure and supporting processes.
