This November ICAEW will hold its second five-day virtual climate summit, bringing members from across the profession together on the issue of climate change.

With growing climate concerns an ever-present consideration for companies around the world, what can – and should – finance professionals be doing to support efforts towards net zero, sustainability and green finance?

For today’s event we are partnering with the Institute of Chartered accountants in England and Wales and focusing on the impact and potential outcomes of the current global energy crisis. How this is impacting us, what is likely to happen next and what can be done about it. We start with 3 presentations. Firstly a segment on ’resilience’ and how we can take steps to mitigate / resolve / address the impact of the energy crisis. Then a ‘people’s perspective’ on what is happening now and what may happen in future.

This publication spotlights key provisions in the Code that apply in preparing and presenting sustainability information. It emphasizes the professional accountant’s obligation to be straightforward and honest and refrain from being associated with information that is misleading or false, including in situations where they might experience pressure to do so.
