Introduction

Objective

There is an increasing need for assurance of non-financial and financial aspects of an organization's sustainable development performance. There remains a gap, however, in standards that govern the emerging profession of sustainability assurance practitioners. There is growing confusion as to what experience is relevant and how best to judge individual competence, often as part of assurance teams.

As a result, the growth of sustainability assurance has been constrained with corresponding damage to quality and credibility.

Recognizing this gap, the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development (CESD) conducts a professional qualification training course in sustainability assurance in India. Being one of a kind, the Certified Sustainability Assurance Practitioner Training Course, accredited by Accountability, offers a series of AccountAbility certified modules that build expertise in key elements of corporate responsibility. The training is especially useful to companies, practitioners and assurance providers.

The objective of the course is to help the participants in understanding the sustainability management & performance improvement in its business activities.

·         To enable practitioners to develop, validate and communicate their competence in a systematic manner.

·         To make it easier for organizations to source relevant and credible assurance expertise.

·         To improve confidence for those seeking assurance, such as organizations' stakeholders, in the expertise of professionals engaged to assess and pass judgment on their behalf.

·         To develop a systematic understanding of key competencies for providing effective assurance, and a basis for informing on this and other standards in the future.
