On November 11, 2022, within the framework of cooperation CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), Great Britain, lecturers of the Department of Accounting and Taxation took part in a seminar on the topic “Demystification of ESG”.
As more companies focus on environmental social and governance (ESG) initiatives, accounting and reporting practices related to ESG are becoming increasingly important.

Corrine Dougherty, CPA, Partner, KPMG – shared a practitioner’s perspective on the topic and provided an analysis of the research that can be used in accounting classes.
