Controllership in climate-related disclosures

As the global focus on climate change intensifies, the disclosure landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with new regulations and expectations emerging for companies to transparently report their climate information. The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed climate rule, the recently passed California Climate Legislation, the EU's CSRD, along with other global standards and regulations, underscore the need for reliable and comparable data to facilitate informed decision-making by investors, regulators, and stakeholders.

In this webinar, we will delve into the critical role of Controllership in guiding organizations through the complexities of climate-related disclosures. Controllership — traditionally responsible for financial reporting and internal controls — is well-positioned to lead the development of ESG strategies, governance frameworks, and robust reporting structures to help companies align with evolving regulatory requirements, the rise of investor-grade data requirements, and the increasing demand for accountability.
