The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) has submitted a response to the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on the ISSB’s Exposure Drafts – General Sustainability-Related Disclosures and Climate-Related Disclosures.
The IESBA believes that to meet the sustainability information needs of investors, customers, employees or potential employees, government agencies and other stakeholders, the infrastructure that supports sustainability reporting and assurance must be underpinned by the highest standards of ethical behavior. Fit-for-purpose, globally applicable standards, such as those set out in the IESBA Code and future, sustainability-related standards that the IESBA has already committed to developing, alongside a robust system of quality management, oversight and enforcement, are essential for consistent, relevant and trustworthy sustainability reporting.

The IPSASB's 4th Public Standard Setters Forum will provide a valuable opportunity for public sector accounting standards setters to build dialogue, exchange ideas, and discuss critical issues with other public sector standard setters and the IPSASB. Forum participants will be directly involved in scoping the IPSASB’s new guidance projects and in shaping its next 5-year strategy. The IPSASB's 2022 Forum, IPSASB 2.0: Taking it to the Next Level, will be held September 19 and 20 in Cascais, Portugal hosted by the Ordem dos Contabilistas Certificados (Order of Certified Accountants). The Forum is an exceptional opportunity to build connections with and gain insights from the unique experiences and expertise of standard setters around the world.
