Organized by ecoDa, EY and the Slovenian Directors’ Association (SDA) and in partnership with ACCA, BusinessEurope and EuropeanIssuers, the European Corporate Governance Conference 2021 – an accompanying event to the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU – brings together decision-makers (European Commission and European Parliament), academics and key business experts from EU and beyond.
A discussion about Corporate Governance along the lines of Sustainability & Innovation is quite timely given the European Commission ongoing initiatives related to the European Green Deal and the Capital Markets Union, such as Sustainable Corporate Governance, Corporate Sustainable Reporting and external audit.
How Corporate Governance and reporting obligations can increase understanding of the changing scene and new challenges in order to better foster the long-term existence of companies? Are we witnessing a real paradigm shift? How to ensure that companies do not just “green” their activities but embed new strategic models?

Event Details
As the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force on 5 January 2023, ecoDa and Mazars, are launching a series of two webinars to enlighten board members about the new requirements and responsibilities implied by this new directive.
Intending to bring sustainability reporting and financial reporting on an equal footing, the CSRD strengthens the rules about the social and environmental information companies will have to report, notably with the development of European Sustainability Reporting Standards. In addition to mandatory sustainability reporting obligations, the CSRD also introduces new requirements in terms of assurance and audit.
Understanding what is at stake seems all the more important that a broader set of companies (including listed SMEs) will now be required to report on sustainability – with about 50,000 companies in the scope in comparison with about 11,700 for the current Non-Financial Reporting Directive).
To equip board members, but more broadly, all actors that will now play a role in sustainability reporting, with the right understanding and practical tips to apply the new rules in the financial year 2024, ecoDa and Mazars have gathered knowledgeable practitioners.
They will share their complementary expertise on the rules, the practice, and the best way to get prepared.
With speakers Leena Linnainmaa and Emmanuel Thierry.

At a time of rising uncertainty, the interplay between board members, the management of companies, auditors and supervisors has never been so critical to corporate reporting quality. High quality corporate reporting builds trust which ensures the effective functioning of financial markets. Recent major corporate failures such as Wirecard and corporate concerns over lack of choice in the PIE audit market have heightened the need for an EU initiative to enhance the corporate reporting framework.
According to the Consultation launched by the Commission last year, 65% of the respondents expressed clear support for such an initiative, with 82% of them considering there was a need for improvement of some or all of the three pillars (corporate governance, staturory audit and supervision of PIE auditors). Only 13% say there is enough choice in finding an auditor at appropriate cost. (For details, please see Consultation outcomes – Summary report)
The panel representing board members, auditors and supervisors will consider the following points and respond to questions raised by the audience:
– For board members, what is the EU key priority to tackle perceived deficiencies in corporate reporting?
– What would help board members to better monitor audit quality and select their auditor(s)?
– What are the options for the EU to create a more diversified and vibrant PIE audit market?

What is meant by internal control? What is the role of internal control for ESG? What lessons from Sarbanes Oxley?
