Promoting transparency

ACCA has been actively involved with the unfolding debate on sustainability since 1990.

We promote transparency and best practice in a number of areas including:

reporting and disclosure
auditing
research
climate change
risk and governance

We aim to help businesses and organisations realise the growing importance of sustainability, and have launched a number of high profile initiatives, including:

the ACCA Awards for Sustainability Reporting
research projects covering topics such as analyst interest in narrative disclosures, sustainability assurance, standards of sustainability reporting on a regional basis
collaboration with sustainability-related organisations such as Transparency International, GRI, FTSE Group and FEE to drive forward the sustainability agenda;
the carbon ‘accountancy futures' theme, to drive forward a work programme highlighting the importance of climate change to business
partnering with GRI and KPMG in the delivery GRI's first worldwide online sustainability reporting awards scheme.
