Course Outline

Organizations are increasingly under pressure to understand and manage ESG risks, particularly as investors and regulators focus on organizations producing accurate and reliable reporting on sustainability efforts. Additional risk areas associated with ESG are varied and can include reliance on third-party data, potential reputational damage from faulty reporting, and the real possibility that an organization’s explicit commitments to meet specific sustainability goals could grow into a material weakness.

This course is designed to introduce delegates to ESG concepts, including ESG reporting. This is ideal for internal audit, risk management, and compliance leaders who currently possess a limited understanding of ESG topics and wish to enhance their knowledge and practical application of leading practices on how to assess their organization’s existing ESG governance and compliance program.
