Welcome to AccelPro Audit, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with Bob Hirth, Senior Managing Director at Protiviti.
As KPMG audit partner at KPMG Anita Chan explained when she spoke to AccelAudit Pro, one of the biggest challenges facing companies in regards to ESG reporting is the “alphabet soup” of different regulations and standards out there. Protiviti Senior Managing Director is the ideal guide auditors through this tangle.
Hirth previously served as co-chair of SASB, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, and is currently a member of the AICPA's Sustainability Assurance and Advisory Task Force. He spoke with AccelPro Audit about the ‘Big 3’ of sustainability regulations, what changes are expected in the future, what internal audit departments should be doing in regard to ESG right now, and why more companies should consider getting assurance on their ESG disclosures from the same accounting firm that does the financial statement auditing of the company.
