Worldwide accounting profession's call to action on climate change
CPA Australia has joined a group of 14 global professional accounting organisations in committing to action in response to climate change. The call to action recognises the crucial role of the accounting profession in addressing climate change. Professional accountants are represented in every sector across the economy and are uniquely positioned to enact meaningful and positive change through a collective effort.
Reports
CPA Australia commissioned this research from the University of Melbourne, The Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative and MinterEllison, exploring impacts of Australia’s international climate commitments on the accountancy profession.
This report examines the relationship between various types of sustainability information and a firm’s cost of capital, based on a sample of 385 public companies in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong.
Climate-related risk
Due to the importance of climate-related risks to investor's decision making, entities can no longer treat climate-related risks as merely a matter of corporate social responsibility. These risks should also be considered in the context of their financial statements.
