Human rights in a new legal landscape: A tailored programme for internal audit, finance, risk and sustainability professionals
Forvis Mazars and Shift are proud to announce the next edition of our business and human rights training program for internal audit, finance, risk and sustainability professionals. We are offering a series of expert-led workshops to equip participants with the essential knowledge and tools to navigate the EU and international standards on corporate sustainability and human rights.
In the context of uncertainty around European sustainability legislation, companies are still pushing ahead with their important sustainability initiatives pursuant to their existing commitments and responsibilities under international standards.
The internal audit, finance and risk functions are key players in the process. Now, more than ever, these teams need to be equipped to understand and robustly evaluate the processes and programmes that are in place to address their company’s impacts on people.
Delivered by leading experts from Forvis Mazars and Shift, the program will combine online and in-person sessions within a small peer group. These sessions will fully prepare internal auditors to adapt to the significant changes brought about by the new regulations.

Feedback from past participants
“A really thought-provoking course on an everchanging and emerging topic for internal audit. Would highly recommend this for auditors entering the ESG landscape.”
“The materials are great and informative and definitely tools that we will be using for a long time! They make what could be daunting material very digestible.”
“The sessions were very interactive which I really appreciated. There were great examples from other companies which allows one to more easily apply the concepts in one’s own organisation.”
