In response to the escalating emphasis on sustainability, CPAs are integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into accounting and financial reporting practices. This involves incorporating metrics that assess a company's impact on the environment, its relationships with stakeholders, and its governance structure. The integration is driven by the growing recognition of the significance of non-financial aspects in evaluating a company's overall performance and long-term viability. CPAs play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability, helping stakeholders make informed decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of a company's social and environmental responsibilities. This contributes to a more holistic and sustainable approach to financial reporting.
