Is the public sector sustainable? What’s next for sustainability reporting in accounting

In this webinar, we will discuss

• the latest developments to promote sustainability reporting alongside financial reporting in the public sector
• the specific challenges facing the public sector
• what can be learnt from experience in the private sector.

The public sector is key to achieving national and international sustainability targets. In many developed countries, it accounts for more than 40% of the economy; has the power to regulate; and is often a stakeholder in economic sectors that impact the climate.

Sustainability reporting, especially when linked to financial reporting, is an important tool for behavioural change. Join us to discuss how accountants in the public sector can drive accountability reporting forward.
