ESG disclosure (sustainability disclosure) in accordance with SSBJ standards is expected to be phased in from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.
Many of you may be thinking, "I somehow know that the wave of mandatory disclosure is coming, but I don't know exactly when or how to start preparing for it."

The new mandate will force companies to take a "completely different" action from the conventional voluntary disclosure in sustainability reports.
It is not merely a matter of increasing the number of items to be included in securities reports, but also of "being subject to the same rigorous assurance (audit) as a financial audit,"
and "having to proceed with the disclosure process of non-financial information completely in parallel with financial closing,"
requiring the relevant departments responsible for disclosure and data control to be prepared for unprecedented The relevant departments responsible for disclosure and data control need to be prepared for new practices that have never been seen before.

In this seminar, we will invite Masahiko Inoue, CPA, former head of non-financial information and sustainability assurance division at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC
, who is currently involved in the forefront of sustainability as an external auditor of Toray Industries, Inc.
How should we proceed with disclosure in accordance with SSBJ standards in the future? From the initial preparation of "where to start",
how to overcome the overcrowded schedule that goes on concurrently with financial closing, the scope of data collection that the field should tackle, and
"how to keep data properly and create a system to compile data" for future audit compliance, the whole picture of the practice will be thoroughly explained step by step.
