Internal Audit’s Role in Environmental, Social and Governance
July 10 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
The stay of the SEC climate disclosure rules has provided extra time for companies to prepare for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations and reporting obligations in the U.S. This is a critical time to form a comprehensive ESG strategy as the effective date draws ever closer to avoid potential penalties and satisfy external stakeholders.
Educating your leadership team is one of the first steps you can take as ESG regulations continue to evolve. Identifying key personnel is a vital component of the overall ESG strategy, and internal auditors will be one of the most valuable contributors in forming your overall strategy. They possess the requisite skills to evaluate existing capabilities, address risks, and help identify key metrics – all key components of an ESG strategy.
This webinar will highlight how an internal auditor can help form and maintain your comprehensive ESG strategy and deliver exceptional value. The primary learning objectives are:
- Understanding alignment between corporate strategy and ESG strategy
- How does internal audit establish its role in ESG?
- Internal audit’s role in understanding the data compilation process (especially non-financial data)
- Creating processes and standards for unregulated, unstructured data that is much different from highly scrutinized financial data
- Data quality assurance (assessing the quality of the data used for decision-making)
