The Long-Term Value of Standardizing ESG

It began as a form of corporate philanthropy but has since evolved significantly to focus on value creation and the significance of ESG in today’s world.

This segment explores how the accountant of the future will need to be technologically savvy to evolve with the changing industry.

The Future of CECL Implementation
