Disclosing Impacts in Financial Statements 

This conversation was thrilling! (Really? Can accounting be thrilling?) Well, yes, with these four it can be and it was. 

Our mission ‘to change the way the world account for value’ seems possible when conversations like these take place.  As you will hear, companies, regulators and auditors are having tangible conversations about disclosure of social and financial impacts.  Why? Because impact disclosure is material to the business, to investors, and to the stakeholders impacted by corporate activities.  Watch this fascinating video. And yes, it is about accounting.

Leonie Phillips
