Product Details

2024 is here, and companies under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are diligently preparing — many for the first time — to conduct double materiality assessments worthy of third-party assurance.

This process is required annually and demands expansive, auditable data to determine material issues, so ESG experts from AICPA, IFS and Datamaran will discuss market best practices for performing a repeatable, CSRD-compliant assessment.

Join us as we cover:

  • The key requirements for CSRD double materiality and the latest updates in the materiality assessment implementation guidance
  • The most common challenges organizations face in implementing the double materiality process
  • How sustainability and finance teams can collaborate and leverage technology to ensure an efficient and audit-ready process

We'll explore these questions with experts:

  • Which companies have to perform double materiality assessments and why?
  • What are the regulatory drivers and best market practices guiding this work?
  • What are the assurance implications for double materiality?

  • CSRD
  • Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
  • Double Materiality
