The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) issues a new standard on sustainability assurance, aimed at guiding how sustainability information is reviewed and assured.
ICAI is the national professional body for chartered accountants in India and has more than five lakh members. In its announcement, ICAI presents the standard as part of its broader role in setting professional guidance across accounting and related assurance areas.
While the outlet coverage provided here focuses mainly on the fact that the ICAI has released the new sustainability assurance standard and on ICAI’s scale and standing, there are no additional details in the supplied summaries about the specific contents of the standard, its effective date, or how it will be applied. The reporting therefore aligns on the issuance of the standard but does not yet present differing assessments or implementation perspectives.
