Beyond the GAAP - September 2022
This month, the ISSB and EFRAG have taken stock of the extensive stakeholder feedback received on their respective draft standards on sustainability disclosures. Although the ISSB, unlike EFRAG, is not required to have finalised its deliberations by mid-November 2022, the ISSB is also under pressure to publish the initial basis of the ’global baseline’ called for by many stakeholders as rapidly as possible. EFRAG continues to press ahead with the timetable imposed by the draft CSRD, bearing in mind that immense work is involved in finalising the draft European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs) in order to meet the expectations of preparers and users, but also the requirements of the European Union, while being aligned, as far as possible, with the future ISSB standards.
