Carbon Accounting for Climate and Sustainability
The Integrated Reporting Blueprint: Mastering Carbon Accounting, ESG Strategy, and the New IFRS Sustainability Standards (S1 & S2)
Master the quantitative measurement of direct, indirect, upstream, and downstream GHG emissions, and understand the new IFRS S1 and S2 standards changing the face of financial reporting forever.
22nd – 23rd June 2026 Dusit Thani Hotel, Dubai - U.A.E.
Course Overview
The IFRS Foundation was recently restructured into two pillars, namely the existing International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the newly formed International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The ISSB will focus on sustainability and climate change and issued two new Standards—IFRS S1 and IFRS S2—that will change the face of financial reporting forever.
This 2-day seminar is wrapped around real-life scenarios, practical examples, and illustrations of sustainability issues. It highlights the link between Sustainability and ESG.
Crucially, the seminar focuses on quantitative carbon accounting, assisting delegates in calculating and measuring Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to disclose carbon footprints across three scopes in their annual reports.
