IPSASB Sustainability Reporting Consultation

Summary

The objective of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board’s (IPSASB) sustainability reporting consultation is to evaluate the demand from stakeholders for public sector sustainability reporting guidance, as well as the degree of support for IPSASB’s involvement in the process. 

As per our International Strategy, PSAB is carefully monitoring IPSASB’s work in this area and responded to IPSASB’s Consultation Paper on Advancing Public Sector Sustainability Reporting. To do this, we engaged Canadians in a consultation process during summer 2022 to ensure Canadian-specific issues and perspectives are considered by IPSASB.
