Build ESG Assurance Systems Before It’s Too Late
With global sustainability regulations tightening and mandatory assurance becoming reality, ESG reporting is not about just disclosures but it is about reliability of those disclosures which can be achieved through audit readiness. From the EU’s CSRD to the ISSB’s IFRS S1 & S2, and AASB’s evolving climate disclosure standards, companies must act now to ensure their ESG disclosures can stand up to both investor scrutiny and third-party audits.
Starting FY2027, organisations in Australia and Singapore will face mandatory assurance of ESG data — and global trends show other regions will follow quickly. This is your opportunity to stay ahead, avoid costly remediation, and build internal systems that meet the world’s most rigorous reporting and assurance standards.
Waiting until 2027 to get assurance-ready could be costly in missed capital opportunities, reporting penalties, or failed audits. This training helps you save time, reduce risk, and secure credibility with stakeholders and regulators. In this class, you will not only about documentation required but you will gain skills on how to implement internal controls for ESG disclosures.
By attending, you’ll build confidence in your reporting systems, reduce uncertainty about upcoming regulations, and set your organization apart as an ESG leader ready for assurance.
Why Attend ESG Audit MasterclassÂ
This high-impact session is designed to equip ESG professionals, finance teams, internal auditors, and risk managers with the practical knowledge, frameworks, and tools needed to build audit-ready ESG reporting systems. As assurance requirements tighten across jurisdictions, companies must demonstrate that their sustainability disclosures are not only transparent—but verifiable, consistent, and aligned with global standards.
This masterclass provides step-by-step guidance on how to implement effective internal controls, process governance, and documentation protocols across your ESG data value chain. You will learn how to align your systems with globally recognized assurance frameworks, including:
ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 – covering general sustainability and climate-related disclosures
EU’s CSRD and ESRS – including double materiality and value chain reporting
AASB’s Australian climate and sustainability guidance
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with customisable templates, checklists, and file structures that can be immediately applied to your ESG reporting environment. Whether preparing for limited or reasonable assurance, this course will ensure your reporting meets auditor expectations and futureproofs your compliance strategy—across multiple jurisdictions and frameworks. It’s the most time- and cost-efficient way to get audit-ready before ESG assurance becomes mandatory.
