1.0 Overview CPE credit | Accounting

The release of new environmental, social, and governance (ESG) legislation from California has sparked a new level of urgency as the first US regulation requiring companies to have emissions data ready for assurance. However, as the SEC continues to delay action on its own emissions disclosure rules, the advent of state-led regulations presents a new paradigm in disclosure regulations. We’ll discuss:

  • Steps companies are taking for state-led compliance following CA legislation
  • The broader impacts new regulations will have on ESG reporting
  • Insights and best practices for regulatory sensing and monitoring
