Abstract

In the complex modern world accountants play a pivotal role as the guardians of accountability for organisations. Beyond their traditional role in financial reporting, accountants are increasingly at the forefront of sustainability initiatives. They help organisations measure their environmental impact, assess their social responsibility, and track their progress towards achieving sustainability goals. By providing the data and insights needed to make informed decisions, accountants empower organisations to create a positive impact on the world around them.
