IFRS S1 in Africa
Investors and lenders are asking how sustainability affects a company's financial prospects. Join Ohad Shachar of GCX, Kelline Christabel Kondowe of the Malawi Stock Exchange and Noel Zigowa of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Malawi (ICAM) for a practical conversation on what IFRS S1 asks of organisations in Malawi and across Africa, and how to get started.
A plain-language look at IFRS S1 for boards, finance teams and sustainability leads, grounded in the realities of doing business in Africa.
What investors, lenders and regulators are asking, and how it links to cash flow, access to finance and cost of capital.
The four pillars in plain terms: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.
What a realistic first step looks like for organisations at different sizes and levels of maturity.
The roles of the board, committees and management in overseeing sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
An open Q&A with the panel.
