Speaking during his address, Ahmed said, “I am very delighted to welcome you all to this programme today which could not have come at a more auspicious time other than now when the primary users of general purpose financial statements globally are calling for more transparent, comparable and verifiable sustainability-related financial information to help them assess an entity’s enterprise value.
“We are now in a world where reliable sustainability information is becoming as important as financial information. The focus on Financial Statements is a viable way to an integrated approach to financial information, Environmental, social and governance or Sustainability information and broader non-financial information.”
He added that with the issuance of two sustainability standards; General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and Climate-Related Disclosures, investors will be knowledgeable about risks and opportunities facing an entity to inform their decisions on providing resources.
