Sustainability is an integral part of mainstream business and investor decision-making. Transforming performance management, governance, and assurance to make this information more valuable for all stakeholders is a key reporting task in today's business. Management accountants - corporate accounting and finance professionals - can apply many of their skills to make sustainability information more reliable and informative and, therefore, more value-added for their organizations.
