As ESG reporting moves rapidly from voluntary to mandatory, organisations are facing growing complexity in meeting regulatory and stakeholder expectations. Internal audit should be well-positioned to support the governing body and management with objective assurance, insights, and advice on ESG matters, as with any risk area.
This session will focus on practical strategies for internal audit to effectively address ESG challenges, ensuring the reliability of ESG data, proper risk management, and compliance with evolving disclosure standards. Key areas of focus include:
-
Navigating ESG regulatory expectations: Understand current and emerging regulatory and stakeholder reporting requirements, and their implications for internal audit
-
Assurance over ESG governance, strategy and controls: Insights on how internal audit can evaluate and provide assurance over ESG governance structures, frameworks, and control environments
-
Assessing ESG data quality and reliability: Gain practical strategies for testing the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of ESG data used in reporting, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
-
Integrating ESG into Enterprise Risk Management: Explore how to embed ESG-related risks and opportunities into broader risk management frameworks and align reporting with international standards such as ISSB, CSRD, and local disclosure mandates
