Climate change

Accounting solutions provider Xero has set its net-zero climate targets for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants rolled out an environmental, social and governance training program for accountants.

Corporate emissions reduction reporting is full of inconsistencies, and the lack of comparability of target disclosures continues to create challenges.

The Carbon Disclosure Project plans to incorporate the International Sustainability Standards Board's upcoming climate-related disclosure standards in its platform.

The goal is to sniff out "dishonest climate accounting and other actions designed to circumvent the need for deep decarbonization."

As the United Nations convenes its COP27 climate change conference in Egypt, accountants are preparing for the advent of international sustainability standards.

Firms often use questionable accounting techniques to support their emissions claims.

The foundation has named all the members of its new Integrated Reporting and Connectivity Council.

More companies are disclosing financial information related to climate change this year, but the disclosures are falling short of recommendations from regulators.

The company currently operates an emission accounting solution, Net Zero Cloud, which will be integrated with the new marketplace.
