Greenhouse Gas Accounting

CPA Members only

CPA Australia has partnered with the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) to curate a collection of data and digital courses exclusively for CPA members. CFI courses have an emphasis on hands-on, practical learning and skills acquisition. They teach in-demand industry practices, tools and techniques that help accounting and finance professionals build confidence, stand out from the competition, and make a positive impact on their careers.

In this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, including carbon accounting, and its significance in addressing climate change challenges. You will explore the scientific aspects of greenhouse gases, their impacts, and the potential risks they pose to the global economy. Through an examination of the GHG Protocol, you will learn the fundamental principles of GHG accounting, as well as the process of establishing operational and legal boundaries. Additionally, you will delve into the intricacies of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, acquiring the skills to effectively collect and organise data for accurate emissions calculations. By the end of the course, you will have a solid grasp of how corporations and investors utilise emissions reports to assess a company's environmental risks and opportunities. 

We encourage you to review CFIs specific technical requirements.
