SUSTAINABILITY GAAP

Customized sustainability reporting training programs for financial professionals

Regulations surrounding sustainability reporting are developing rapidly and increasingly affect the domain of finance, control, and external financial reporting. Under the heading Sustainability GAAP, I provide in-depth, practice-oriented customized training programs for financial professionals who work with European and international sustainability standards.

Training programs for CSRD-obligated companies – ESRS in practice

For companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), I offer customized training programs that specifically cover:

  • the revised and updated ESRS standards;
  • interpretation of material data points and proportionality;
  • the interconnection between sustainability information and financial reporting;
  • impact on processes, internal controls, and the role of the finance function;
  • preparation for audit and assurance.

The training programs are tailored to the role of financial professionals and align with their responsibility for reliability, consistency, and reporting quality.

VSME Training Programs – Voluntary Sustainability Standards

In addition, I can be engaged to provide knowledge and insights on the application of the VSME standards (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs). These training programs focus on:

  • organizations that are not yet CSRD-obligated;
  • financial professionals involved in supply chain reporting or information requests from banks and stakeholders;
  • practical application of voluntary sustainability reporting as a precursor or alternative to ESRS.

The focus is on clarity, feasibility, and alignment with existing financial information.

ISSB Training Programs – International Sustainability Standards

For organizations with an international orientation, I provide training on the ISSB standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2). These programs give financial professionals insight into:

  • the structure and objectives of the ISSB standards;
  • the relationship and differences between ISSB and ESRS;
  • application of ISSB standards in combination with financial reporting under IFRS.

Target Audience

The training programs are primarily aimed at financial professionals, including accountants, controllers, finance managers, and CFOs, who are responsible for or involved in sustainability information and its integration into the reporting chain.
