What to expect: Tino Gonese, Analyst in the Capital Markets Transparency Team at Carbon Tracker, will open with a short presentation highlighting key insights. He’ll then be joined by a panel of experts –Paul Lee, Head of Stewardship and Sustainable Investment Strategy (Redington), and Barbara Davidson, Head of Capital Markets Transparency Team (Carbon Tracker) – for an in-depth, open audience Q&A-led discussion.

Drawing on audit reports from over 140 carbon-exposed companies this report highlights the extent to which auditors appear to be addressing, or overlooking, the financial impacts of climate and energy transition risks.

Key themes include:

• The transparency gap
• A possible audit tenure/inconsistency relationship.
• Cross border audit practice variations.
• Practical recommendations for auditors, audit committees, and regulators.
• Investor’s role in driving improved audit transparency.

This webinar is an essential for investors, regulators, audit professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of climate risk and financial reporting.

We look forward to seeing you on the 22nd, but in the meantime, feel free to download the report or email Tino at tgonese@carbontracker.org
