Sustainability Assurance-ISSA 5000 Webinar
Date: 18th August 2026
Time: 04.00pm-06.00pm
Venue: Virtual Delivery

Overview

The increasing demand for high-quality sustainability-related information has elevated the importance of assurance in building trust and confidence among investors, regulators, and other stakeholders. As organizations continue to enhance their sustainability reporting in response to global reporting requirements, there is a growing need for assurance practitioners and reporting professionals to understand the principles, requirements, and application of sustainability assurance engagements.

To address this need, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) issued the International Standard on Sustainability Assurance (ISSA) 5000, General Requirements for Sustainability Assurance Engagements, which establishes a comprehensive global baseline for sustainability assurance. ISSA 5000 responds to the rapidly evolving sustainability reporting landscape, including the adoption of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, regional sustainability disclosure requirements, and stakeholder expectations for credible and decision-useful sustainability information.

As sustainability assurance becomes increasingly relevant to organizations across sectors, practitioners must understand how ISSA 5000 addresses unique sustainability assurance considerations, including materiality assessments, value chain information, estimation uncertainty, forward-looking information, and the use of experts.

This webinar will provide participants with insights into the application of ISSA 5000 and its implications for assurance practitioners, preparers, regulators, and other stakeholders involved in sustainability reporting and assurance.
