What’s new in financial reporting and audit

What has changed since our April to June series, and what needs your attention?

Carmen and Colin will explore key changes across auditing, financial and sustainability reporting, AI, ethics and regulation. The focus will be on what these developments mean in practice, the questions to raise with clients and the actions your team should consider now.

Setting the scene for the 12-part program, this session will help you identify priorities for audit planning, client discussions, risk registers and staff training, while highlighting issues we’ll examine in greater depth throughout the series.
