Webcast on connections between accounting and sustainability disclosures
Linda Mezon-Hutter, Vice-Chair of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and
Sue Lloyd, Vice-Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) discuss
progress made in facilitating connections between financial statements and
sustainability-related financial disclosures and in the work of the two boards.
The two Vice-Chairs share examples of connected and complementary work between the two
boards in a webcast published today. The collaborative work facilitates holistic,
comprehensive and coherent information in companies’ financial reports.
The webcast follows the publication of the inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure
Standards, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, at the end of June.
In March 2023, the IFRS Foundation published an article about how the
IASB and ISSB’s work on climate-related disclosures is
connected; and another article about why this connected working matters and the benefits of
it.
