We will issue the proposed, landmark International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements, for public consultation on August 2.
When approved, ISSA 5000 will be the most comprehensive sustainability assurance standard available to all assurance practitioners across the globe. It will apply to sustainability information reported about any appropriate sustainability matter and prepared under any suitable framework. It will also apply for both limited and reasonable assurance engagements.
ISSA 5000 also benefits from close consultation and coordination with other global organizations, including IOSCO, FSB, IESBA, ISSB, and GRI.
From August 2 to December 1 is when we need to hear from you; your feedback on the proposed standard is crucial. We need to hear from those who:
Prepare, use or provide assurance on sustainability information
Use reported sustainability information to make decisions, including audit committee members, investors, and others.
