The aim of the Essex Accounting Centre (EAC) research seminar series is to support our world-class research activities in five key areas: accounting and global development; capital Markets, audit, regulation & reporting; publicness and resilience, precarity, exclusion & social justice; and environment, climate change & vulnerability. The seminar series is also expected to promote inter-disciplinary research that links the work of members of the centre with others both within the university and with external institutions.

The purpose of the session is to provide a detailed overview of sustainability reporting from an EU perspective. Why, how, and when it was introduced in this jurisdiction. It tries to focus on the most recent developments, including some reference to Omnibus packages.

Although the topic is discussed from an EU perspective, references to the international approach will also be considered. It is generally understood that this new type of information will pose considerable challenges to preparers, but it might also be a source of opportunities, but not only for them. In the session we will also discuss the various possibilities it opens up to academics.
