It also provides a mechanism to enable the global profession to move as one in ensuring a future ready profession. For example, the forthcoming sustainability revisions will signpost the way for accountancy education programs around the world to develop the competencies needed for accountants to respond to investor and stakeholder demand for high quality sustainability reporting.
