Proposed general requirements for sustainability assurance engagements – An invitation to engage, learn, and share insights
Aug 29, 2023
On August 29, 2023, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) announced a range of engaging webinars and events to enhance understanding of the newly proposed International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements—and encourage participation in the public consultation.
- Amplified Engagement through Stakeholder Survey: Recognizing the diverse perspectives and levels of expertise within the stakeholder community, an alternative avenue for feedback has been developed. In addition to the comprehensive Explanatory Memorandum and Response Template, the IAASB has created a stakeholder survey. This user-friendly tool allows the IAASB to obtain the views of stakeholders who may not ordinarily respond to IAASB consultations, including preparers of sustainability information, those with the oversight of its preparation, investors and other users of the sustainability information, sustainability reporting standard setters and members of the academic community. Survey responses will be aggregated and analyzed in conjunction with other feedback received.
- Webinars for Enhanced Understanding: Learn more about ISSA 5000 at dedicated IAASB webinars for practitioners and regulators.
- Empowering Global Exchange at Notable Events: Events leading to opportunities for learning, sharing, and networking.
