Programme Update
HKICPA has recently been appointed as an official ISSB Training Partner by the IFRS Foundation. As part of this development, the Institute is enhancing the HKICPA Certificate on Sustainability Reporting to incorporate official IFRS Foundation-developed training content and the latest practical implementation insights. The enhanced version of the programme is expected to be launched later this year. The current programme remains open for enrolment until the launch of the enhanced version, continuing to provide participants with a solid foundation in sustainability reporting. Please note that eligibility for a certificate issued by the IFRS Foundation will apply only to the enhanced programme. Further details, including the updated curriculum and certification arrangements, will be announced in due course. We encourage interested participants to check this website and our e-newsletter for the latest updates. |
As Hong Kong takes bold steps to implement the ISSB Standards and strengthen its position as a global hub for green and sustainable finance, professionals across industries are expected to play a key role in delivering high-quality sustainability reporting. The end result is the HKFRS S1 and HKFRS S2. Issued by the Institute, these standards are set to reshape how organizations identify, assess, and disclose sustainability-related risks, opportunities, and financial impacts.
To support Hong Kong’s transition to sustainability reporting, the Institute has introduced the HKICPA Certificate on Sustainability Reporting — a structured and practical training programme designed to equip professionals with the essential knowledge and skills to implement HKFRS S1 and HKFRS S2.
Mastering HKFRS S1 & HKFRS S2 - Be future-ready
HKICPA Certificate on Sustainability Reporting bridges the knowledge gap by focusing on real-world application — helping participants turn reporting obligations of HKFRS S1 and HKFRS S2 into actionable insights that inform strategy, enhance risk management, and strengthen stakeholder trust. The programme includes expert-led modules on materiality assessment, scenario analysis, GHG emissions, stakeholder engagement, and integrating sustainability into financial and risk management practices.
