Global Accounting Alliance: Why Nature Matters To Accountants
Published by the Global Accounting Alliance (GAA), and developed by a team led by ICAEW, the guide ‘Why Nature Matters To Accountants’ explores how nature risk is linked to financial risk and how nature connects to the professional responsibilities of accountants.
It also provides guidance on how to integrate nature into work across a range of different functions. It has been written for accountants working in business and in practice, particularly for board members, senior managers, analysts, report preparers and auditors to underscore the urgent need for action as the planet faces an unprecedented nature crisis.
By identifying the key actions that can be taken and integrating nature across business functions – from finance to reporting, and from risk management to strategy – organizations can benefit from improved resilience and value creation through a more sustainable, nature positive business model.
