Course Description

Join us for an insightful webinar on Human Capital Reporting and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) for Accountants. Human capital refers to the skills, knowledge, and experience possessed by an individual or population.  Human capital reporting is the process of measuring and communicating essential metrics about the performance and management of human talent to internal decision-makers and external stakeholders.  

DEI is a key segment of the human capital reporting equation, encompassing workplace initiatives that promote and measure diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity pertains to employee differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and other characteristics. Equity ensures enterprise fairness and impartiality, and inclusion fosters a sense of belonging. 

In this webinar, we will provide insights into the emerging issues, trends, and expectations related to Human Capital Reporting and DEI.

You'll also discover the key frameworks and strategies that accountants are using to rigorously track human assets and build talent capital cultures that honor both human dignity and financial integrity. With expert insights, you'll explore the business case for diversity and the real benefits of DEI to the accounting profession. Plus, you'll gain access to valuable DEI resources that will help you showcase the power of people and drive business success.
