Be the future of sustainability assurance

The Audit & Assurance Conference 2024 will focus on the expanding and fast-changing landscape of sustainability assurance. The event on 10 June at Chartered Accountants’ Hall will bring together a range of experts on the growing prospects and challenges facing preparers and assurance providers.

Speakers will share a range of perspectives on the importance of sustainability assurance, an overview of current and evolving regulatory landscape, and offer practical advice on how to prepare for and deliver sustainability assurance. There will be opportunities to network and log verifiable hours towards CPD requirements.

Learn more about the event and book your place.

The faculty also invites you to complete a five-minute online survey on sustainability assurance. Your input will help to inform our response to a Financial Reporting Council (FRC) study looking at the UK market for sustainable assurance services. 

Learn more about the FRC study in an ICAEW article and FRC podcast
