CFO Brew | After the SEC released its Fall 2022 agenda detailing a list of priorities for the upcoming year, finance professionals shared their own wish list and expectations for 2023. In an interview with CFO Brew, Quantis’ US Transformation Lead John Willard talks about the Climate Change Disclosure and his hopes for a definitive outcome and direction from the final ESG disclosure ruling.
“Companies are caught in a bit of limbo as to what will be included, what won’t be included, when they will be required to release these disclosures, and what the expectations around auditing and providing third-party assurance will be.”
Fearing the hotly contested proposal may be held up by legal or legislative challenges, WIllard is also hoping that the final ruling in April “wouldn’t linger in a continuous state of challenge in the courts or in Congress.”
