Climate Disclosure Workshop for CFOs

 Join us for an informative workshop that will equip you with essential insights into Australia’s upcoming climate-related financial disclosure regime.

Last month, the Federal Parliament passed landmark legislation establishing mandatory climate reporting standards for large companies. From 1st January 2025, organisations will be required to report on their climate risks, opportunities, and emissions. 

To help you navigate these changes, Edge Impact and McGrathNicol are hosting a Climate Reporting Overview where we’ll delve into what these standards mean for CFOs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with experts, network with peers, and enhance your understanding of compliance requirements. 

What You’ll Gain: 

• A clear overview of AASB S2 and its implications for your finance team 

• Insights into compliance components and assurance requirements 

• Strategies to leverage these disclosures for greater business benefits
