The Intersection of GRC and ESG: Building a Tactical Approach to ESG Assurance

The impact of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) will be felt well beyond the confines of the EU and the UK. Organisations not directly impacted by these mandates are still looking to them as the new gold standard to model their integrated reporting practices so they can meet ever-increasing stakeholder demands—in part because it will bring limited, then reasonable, assurance to their integrated reports.

Join Liz Sandwith, Chief Professional Practices Advisor at the Chartered IIA, Sarah Ward, Partner FS Risk Consulting at KPMG UK and Charles Calovich, Industry Principal at Workiva for an engaging discussion on how to build effective ESG programs, the critical role internal audit and risk teams can play in identifying, managing, and mitigating ESG risks, and practical steps teams can take to prepare for ESG assurance. During this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Develop an ESG program that unifies ESG reporting, financial reporting, risks, and controls
• Leverage learnings from GRC to jump-start your ESG program, build a solid internal control foundation, and prepare for ESG assurance
• Identify critical timelines and milestones that will help guide you as you develop an ESG strategy for your business
