On-demand Webinar – AASB Exposure Draft, “CSSA 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements"

About the Webinar

In August 2023, the AASB approved the Exposure Draft “CSSA 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements,” for consultation among Canadian interested parties. The proposed Canadian Standard on Sustainability Assurance (CSSA) 5000 is being adopted concurrently with the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board’s (IAASB) proposed International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000. 

In this webinar, we cover topics such as:

• the six priority areas for which the standard provides more specificity for sustainability in the requirements and application material;
• the scope and applicability of the new standard;
• the defined terms such as “Sustainability Information” and “Sustainability Matters”;
• the Canadian amendments to ISSA 5000 and conforming amendments to other Canadian standards; 
• the different ways to provide your views to the AASB, and more.
