News بتاريخ: 23 فبراير 2023 تقديم بلاغ بتاريخ: 23 فبراير 2023 Progressing sustainable development goals, including those related to climate change, requires urgent public sector action. Yet, as of now, no internationally recognized public sector reporting framework exists to help governments to measure and report on their critical contributions to addressing the global climate emergency and other sustainability challenges. With its public sector standard setting expertise and support of the international community, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) is exploring how it might change that. IPSASB, IFAC and Accountancy Europe will host an interactive discussion around key ideas the IPSASB is exploring related to the development of sustainability standards and the resources necessary to deliver the urgently needed public sector reporting guidance. Equipping the Public Sector for Sustainability Action: Advancing transparency, comparability, and accountability with sustainability reporting will be held in Brussels, Belgium on April 4, 2023, from 4:00pm-6:00pm followed by a networking reception until 7:00pm. “The urgency of advancing public sector sustainability reporting cannot be overstated,” said Ian Carruthers, IPSASB Chair. “While the IPSASB is pleased to be playing a leading role in developing the thinking on this initiative, the involvement of the global community will also be crucial to equipping the public sector with the tools it needs to address climate change and other sustainability challenges.” “Public sector specific sustainability reporting standards will undoubtedly strengthen the global response to the climate crisis,” said Kevin Dancey, IFAC CEO. “IFAC applauds the IPSASB's lead on addressing this gap and encourage all of our stakeholders to get involved however they can.” “The public sector is essential to the economy in European countries: the necessary transition will not happen without it”, said Olivier Boutellis-Taft, Accountancy Europe’s CEO. “Proper sustainability reporting is a minimum and long-awaited first step. We applaud the IPSASB’s leadership and look forward to this discussion.” The event will feature: Ian Carruthers, Chair, IPSASB Olivier Boutellis-Taft, CEO, Accountancy Europe Andrew Blazey, Deputy Head of Division and Lead, Green Budgeting, OECD Maria-Rosa Aldea Busquets, Deputy Director General, DG Budget, European Commission Laura Leka, Principal, IFAC Alex Metcalfe, Global Head of Public Sector, ACCA Vivi Niemenmaa, Secretary General - INTOSAI WGEA / National Audit Office of Finland Lebogang Senne, Technical Director, Pan African Federation of Accountants (PAFA) Ross Smith, Program and Technical Director, IPSASB Eelco van der Enden, CEO, GRI Additional participants TBA The in-person interactive discussion will be followed by a networking reception.
