Course Overview

As the importance of ESG reporting continues to grow, Our Controllership Series equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in this changing landscape.

In March 2023, the SEC proposed its long-awaited climate change disclosure rules.  As businesses adjust to meet stakeholder demands and deliver new, high-quality reporting, they need someone with the right experience to lead the way.  There has been a rise in ESG Controller jobs. The person responsible for assuring that any ESG-related disclosures a company makes are complete and accurate, just like a “traditional” corporate controller is responsible for assuring the accuracy of financial disclosures.

As ever more jurisdictions move toward mandatory disclosure of ESG metrics, (ex: The European Union’s new Corporate Sustainability Reporting directive and impending U.S. SEC requirements) the urgency to get those disclosures right has gone up. This course to as an introduction to the concept of requirements for Controllers and financial personnel to understand ESG disclosures. Whether the role related to ESG disclosures and information falls into the job responsibility of the controller or not is yet to be seen. However, the Controller must maintain some level of knowledge and expertise around the types and timing of such disclosures.

Major topics included: 

  • SEC proposal, and its need
  • Operationalizing ESG reporting
  • ESG controller responsibilities and skills
  • Traits of a strong ESG controller
  • ESG team and structure
  • Practical steps for operationalizing ESG

ESG Controller is similar to the Finance Controller who manage the risk and internal control for ESG reporting. ESG controller should have knowledge of compliance and should have cross-Functional skill for interaction with other departments in the organization. As the skills of ESG Controller matches with that of the Financial Controller, a Finance controller can take the additional responsibility of ESG reporting. This Module clearly explains the role of ESG Controller and also the handout material is useful for future reference.
