📢 Today, the External Reporting Board approved three of its four #climate and #assurance proposals: ▶ A one year extension to the adoption provision for scope 3 GHG emissions disclosures ▶ A one year extension to the adoption provision for anticipated financial impacts disclosures ▶ A new one year adoption provision relating to the assurance of scope 3 GHG emissions The proposal to delay transition planning disclosures by an additional year was not adopted, on the basis of hearing strong user demand for this information. We have been discussing with the Financial Markets Authority - New Zealand executive the possibility of a class exemption to provide additional certainty to support the optional delay of assurance over scope 3 GHG emission disclosures. The FMA has advised that it intends to consult on this before the end of the year. ➡ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g8iZwMUe
