Risk management as we knew it has been catapulted by the ongoing pandemic, and accountants have been presented with an unmissable opportunity to reassess how they can add more value in this transformation. The opening section of this report discusses how failing to address sustainability is the biggest risk of all, and what needs to be done to better measure and manage the associated existential risks. Now is the time for our profession to show in real ways how it helps organisations change behaviour, rethink risk and how accountants can steer us all towards a sustainable future.
