Board and Management Roles in Financial and Sustainability Reporting

What's the Programme About?

💡 Financial numbers tell one story. Sustainability reporting tells the future.

The world no longer measures success by financial performance alone. Today, investors, regulators, and stakeholders demand accountability—not just in profit, but in purpose. Boards that fail to adapt risk losing trust, reputation, and long-term competitiveness.

This one-day programme empowers board members and senior leaders to step beyond compliance and harness reporting as a strategic advantage. From IFRS S1 & S2 to Malaysia’s National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF), you’ll explore global best practices and learn how to transform reporting into a powerful tool for credibility, resilience, and growth.

This isn’t just about disclosures. It’s about shaping your organisation’s legacy.

Why Attend?

  • 🌍 Stay ahead of regulation – Master IFRS, ISSB, GRI & NSRF requirements
  • 📊 Lead with confidence – Understand the board’s fiduciary, governance & oversight responsibilities
  • ♻️ Embed ESG into strategy – Link sustainability to corporate performance, risk & long-term value
  • 💼 Challenge management effectively – Ask the right questions to ensure transparency and accountability
  • 🚀 Future-proof your organisation – Build trust with investors and stakeholders while driving resilience
