SME sustainability reporting: online discussion with experts

SME sustainability reporting: online discussion with experts

Watch the recording

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are finding sustainability reporting issues on their doorstep even if they haven’t invited them. In this online session, we looked at recent developments in sustainability reporting for SMEs, in particular the draft voluntary SME standard produced by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). Analysing some of the metrics in more detail, we highlighted the types of assistance that accountants can provide for their SME clients.

Our Members joined this session to

  • be updated on our work and upcoming projects
  • discuss the standards’ implementation
  • share views for future priorities.

Accountancy Europe supports both European and international sustainability reporting standards. This session was part of our Members’ Engagement Day webinar on 13 November 2024, and it is now publicly available.
