Client Alert: New ISSA 5000 Standard for Sustainability Assurance

IAASB Issues Finalized Assurance Standard for Sustainability Reporting (ISSA 5000).

As ESG reporting evolves, stakeholders often find themselves navigating an overwhelming maze of acronyms, standards, and regulations. This complexity has created some confusion not only for preparers, but for third-party verifiers and other stakeholders wanting to ensure that the information presented is complete, accurate, and in compliance with regulations.

In an attempt to address these concerns, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) has released the finalized Assurance Standard for Sustainability Reporting, ISSA 5000. This landmark standard is designed to ensure consistent, high-quality assurance engagements across all types of sustainability reporting, ranging from simple GHG Emission disclosures, to complex CSRD requirements and everything in between. By providing a reliable structure for assessing and verifying sustainability data, ISSA 5000 helps organizations build trust and credibility with their stakeholders.
