About this Event

Stakeholders are paying more attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk and reporting, which is presenting a unique opportunity and challenge for management accountants to have a seat at the table for this critical effort. Monitoring, disclosing, and addressing ESG risks and reporting can introduce new data management challenges and will require a fresh perspective from management accountants, especially in light of the SEC’s recently proposed requirements for Climate-Related Disclosures.

In this session,  Jonathan Wolf and Tony Rock of Workiva and Nancy Jordan of Cornerstone Building Brands, will reveal how management accounting leaders can play a key role in helping their organizations build a solid foundation for an effective and efficient ESG program that will scale as stakeholder expectations normalize and regulations are finalized. They will also discuss the expected impact of the SEC proposed disclosure requirements and the impact these changes will have on organizations and what you can do now to prepare.
