ACCA:SUB-SAHARAN STOCK EXCHANGES引入环境、社会和治理的要求报告

来源：高顿网校 2014-07-25

　　高顿网校小编与您一起分享ACCA新闻：SUB-SAHARAN STOCK EXCHANGES URGED TO INTRODUCE ESG REPORTING IN THEIR LISTING REQUIREMENTS（摘自ACCA协会官网）

　　A handful of Sub-Saharan exchanges are showing initial signs of interest in ESG reporting, which must be supported. Other exchanges in this region must be encouraged to follow their example

　　Sub-Saharan Stock Exchanges should introduce requirements for listed companies to report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters or develop voluntary guidelines on the topic states a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants).

　　Examining stock exchanges in Botswana, Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the report – Stock Exchanges in sub-Saharan Africa: capturing intent towards ESG requirements – says that while there are fledgling signs of intent to introduce ESG disclosures from some of the stock exchanges, there is room for more commitment to be shown and more widespread action on their part. The report urges stock exchanges to to develop more extensive and meaningful disclosure requirements.

　　The report also finds that with the exception of listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), which is the most advanced stock exchange in the region when it comes to sustainability, the level of sustainability reporting from the largest listed companies across sub-Saharan Africa is very low, with only 13 companies (15%) reporting on sustainability, either through a sustainability report, combined report or integrated report. The ACCA report has called for listed companies in this region to increase the quantity and quality of their sustainability disclosures.

　　Rachel Jackson, head of sustainability at ACCA, says: 'The benefits of stock exchange-led ESG initiatives are clear – they meet both the evolving information needs of investors and society, as well as create more transparent and responsible companies. It’s an encouraging sign that the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), Zimbabwean Stock Exchange (ZSE), the Stock Exchange of Mauritius and the Nigerian Stock Exchange are realising the importance of requiring ESG disclosures. However more can be done across the region for exchanges to recognise the influence they can have in achieving greater corporate accountability.'

　　The report says that stock exchanges need to:

　　Introduce mandatory sustainability reporting requirements within listing regulations, or develop voluntary sustainability reporting guidelines for listed companies

　　Consult with exchanges – internationally and across Africa - that already have sustainability reporting requirements, to understand how to implement such initiatives

　　Consult with asset managers and asset owners to understand investors’ needs when developing reporting requirements.

　　Listed companies are also urged to co-ordinate with stock exchanges, and to move beyond charitable and philanthropic activities to integrate sustainability onto corporate strategies so that environmental and social impacts are assessed.

　　Speaking about the important role of stock exchanges in driving sustainability reporting, Corli Le Roux, head of SRI Index and Sustainability at JSE, says in the report: 'Ultimately, the approach should be up to each individual exchange. The reality is, however, that exchanges have significant influencing potential and are well positioned to exert that influence in a variety of ways, including collaborating with other players across the investment value chain in strengthening the call for greater transparency and advancing engagement on sustainability between companies and their shareholders.'

　　Rachel Jackson concludes: 'Outside of the JSE, so little is heard about the intentions of sub-Sahara African exchanges to enhance the ESG disclosures of their listed companies. By highlighting such intent, however small, we are hoping it will lead on to more ambitious plans from them, which in turn will provide inspiring examples for the other exchanges to follow. In addition, this work has served as a reminder that multiple disciplines have responsibility for encouraging exchanges to introduce robust ESG reporting requirements, including those from government and the investment community.'

acca备考热门问题解答

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
