Establishing ESG assurance leadership in the UK and Ireland
The UK and Irish member firm of a Top 10 international network sought to position itself as a leader in ESG assurance, ahead of the first wave of CSRD. With increasing regulatory pressure and client demand, the firm also needed to formalise its approach to considering climate and sustainability-related risks in its financial statement audits.
Our director developed the firm’s ESG assurance strategy, securing its registration as Ireland’s first ACCA-regulated Sustainability Assurance Service Provider (SASP). This milestone allowed the firm to offer independent ESG assurance to clients in scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), aligning with global frameworks such as ISSA 5000 and ISAE (Ireland) 3000. By integrating sustainability considerations into audit methodologies, the firm strengthened its ability to assess ESG risks and ensure sustainability disclosures met regulatory expectations.
To enhance internal capabilities, we developed structured training for audit teams, enabling them to assess ESG risks within financial statement audits and implement assurance methodologies effectively. The firm’s strengthened governance, risk management, and internal controls positioned it as a trusted ESG assurance provider, offering clients confidence in their sustainability reporting.
