Crisis After Crisis: How to Expect the Unexpected

11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. EDT
1 CPE credit

In the past two years, companies have experienced crisis after crisis—the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, and now, rising inflation and war in Ukraine. During this session, members will describe how they prepare for the unexpected and share best practices for responding to current affairs. 

After this session, you will be able to: 

• Recognize that disruptive global events can happen at any time 
• Identify risks to ensure your business is well-prepared for the future
• Discuss controversial topics and risks with your organization's leadership

​​​​​Creating a Sustainable ESG Reporting Process

12:00–1:00 p.m. EDT
1 CPE credit

The SEC has proposed new climate reporting and disclosure requirements for SEC registrants. While many companies have chosen to proactively tackle ESG reporting, the SEC’s proposal will likely challenge even mature sustainability and financial reporting teams. During this session, panelists will discuss how ESG matters could affect, and be considered in, the financial reporting process for both mature and emerging companies. 

After this session, you will be able to: 

• Recall the actions that the SEC has taken with respect to ESG and climate change disclosures
• Describe examples of ESG disclosures from two different companies
• Recognize the various bodies that have developed frameworks and proposed standards for ESG and climate-related disclosures.
• Summarize why ESG reporting is an increasingly important part of financial reporting disclosures

Workiva offers two complimentary CPE credits for this event.
