Beyond Accounting – Sustainability in Transactions
CAW Network USA invites you to attend this exciting online event, Beyond Accounting – Sustainability in Transactions.
Addressing the issues of sustainability, including environmental, social and economic impacts of the transition to a net-zero economy, represents a key challenge for most organisations. Despite this, business activity continues, with the investment and divestment cycle remaining another fundamental part of organisations’ activities. Corporate acquisition and disposal transactions, including those that are private equity (PE) funded, are a fundamental part of many economies. The interrelationship between these two areas of focus, mergers and acquisitions / divestment and sustainability-related issues, is the subject of this report. Using the insights of nearly 50 accountancy and finance professionals from across the world, many of whom are members of ACCA or CA ANZ, this report provides a context for this interrelationship between sustainability and these major corporate transactions. The report is not a detailed explanation of the transaction process; rather, it is intended to support chief financial officers (CFOs) and their teams in identifying appropriate sustainability-related considerations during the investment and divestment workflows.
