Discussed ESG reporting work

In 2023, the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) said it was involved in government consultations on sustainability reporting, ran thought-leadership events, and developed education and training on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) issues. It also said it was building tools and resources for members and clients, and working with other professional groups. This shows active engagement with sustainability reporting policy and practice, rather than just talking about it in general terms.

Supported sustainability standards

The IPA said it contributed to consultations on Australia’s sustainability reporting framework and supported alignment with the International Sustainability Standards Board, or ISSB (the body setting global sustainability reporting rules). It also backed a phased rollout, starting with large entities before smaller firms such as SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises). The group said this approach would make reporting more practical and scalable across different business sizes.

Built ESG education for members

The IPA said it was developing education courses, training, and a monthly sustainability discussion group for members. It also said it was looking at its own sustainability practices and creating an ESG program to “walk the talk,” meaning it wanted its internal actions to match its public advice. This is a practical step because many professional firms need staff who understand sustainability reporting before they can advise clients well.
