Maximizing Your Accounting Firm for ESG

Accounting firms are already collecting and analyzing the company’s financials, so they are in the central seat to be able to help companies address their ESG reporting issues. Accountants will be able to attest and assure the numbers are accurate, as required by the SEC disclosure rules, and will be able to analyze trends as well.  Even for companies that are not publicly-traded (and therefore do not have to file these to the SEC), these disclosures are often material to secure contracts with publicly-traded companies and/or with government agencies. Danielle Barrs, Director, and Charles Waring, Partner, both of EisnerAmper’s ESG and Sustainability services team discuss how accounting firms can help maximize these opportunities for companies.
