By sharing our learnings as a profession, we can continue to elevate our focus and actions on higher value activities to support and empower professional accountants to take on more strategic roles.”

IFAC’s Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Advisory Group has compiled insights on how accountants are contributing to value creation and sustainability in their organizations in both the private and public sectors in a new report, The Role of Accountants in Mainstreaming Sustainability 

This report includes highlights from the PAIB Advisory Group’s October 2021 meeting, including: 

  • Achieving sustainability and decarbonization under the stewardship of CFOs and accountants 
  • Navigating potentially disruptive transitions by investing in technology, innovation, talent, and partnerships  
  • Optimizing and capturing value for a range of stakeholders 
  • PAIB perspective on digital assets and cryptocurrencies 

Sanjay Rughani, IFAC PAIB Advisory Group Chair says: “The need for CFOs and finance functions to contribute strategically as value partners is increasing to advance sustainability. By sharing our learnings as a profession, we can continue to elevate our focus and actions on higher value activities to support and empower professional accountants to take on more strategic roles.”
