The Institute last Monday hosted the first of two Australian Round Table forums on the topic of ‘Assurance on Disclosures of Carbon Emissions Information’, which were conducted under the auspices of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board in order to hear from users, preparers and assurance providers. The intention is to inform the planned development of an International Standard or Practice Statement on ‘Assurance on Carbon Emissions Information’. The forum attracted representatives of a diverse range of those interested in this area. The international project is being led by Professor Roger Simnett of the University of New South Wales.
