ESG Disclosure (127107982) - Online

Description

CPA Members only

CPA Australia has partnered with the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) to curate a collection of data and digital courses exclusively for CPA members. CFI courses have an emphasis on hands-on, practical learning and skills acquisition. They teach in-demand industry practices, tools and techniques that help accounting and finance professionals build confidence, stand out from the competition, and make a positive impact on their careers.

In this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosure and its significance in corporate performance. Through examples and discussions, you will learn about both investor-facing and public-facing reporting frameworks, as well as emerging trends in ESG reporting. You will explore quantitative and qualitative disclosure methods, and discover how to effectively prepare and position ESG disclosure to meet the expectations of investors, policymakers, customers, and rating agencies. By analysing real-life case studies, you will develop the skills to interpret ESG disclosure and assess its quality, enabling you to evaluate ESG risks and opportunities for different stakeholders.

We encourage you to review CFI’s specific technical requirements.
