Join Accountancy Europe and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) to discuss the latest developments in the world of sustainability assurance. In this webinar, you will hear insights from the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), the Committee of European Auditing Oversight Bodies (CEAOB) and the Nordic Federation of Accountants.

We will focus on the newly endorsed International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000 and the CEAOB non-binding guidelines on limited assurance on sustainability reporting.
