Su Rim, CPA, and Kristi Staley, CPA, discuss the rise of ESG and what it means for CPAs and their clients

As environment, social and governance (ESG) continues to receive increasing attention from businesses, advisers are being sought after for support. “CPAs are in a position to embrace the opportunity to better serve their clients,” state BPM Senior Manager Su Rim and Director Kristi Staley in the California CPA magazine article.

In the article, Staley and Su respond to such questions as:

• How will ESG impact be measured?
• What could ESG standards and reporting cost companies?
• How are you advising clients regarding ESG practices and adhering to standards?
• How would you like to see ESG evolve?
• What would an ESG accounting standard look like and what benefits would it bring?
