Sustainability assurance research is still in its early stages and many important questions remain unanswered.
According to Ulrike Thuerheimer (assistant professor in accounting at the University of Amsterdam) directions for future research include:
• How do financial statement and sustainability audits interact?
• What team characteristics matter?
• How do materiality concepts differ between the financial statement and sustainability audits?
• How does limited assurance differ from reasonable assurance concerning sustainability?
• How to measure the quality of sustainability reporting (and assurance), possibly with the help of AI?
• What is the impact of (changes in) European regulation?
• What are cross-country differences in what parties are allowed to provide sustainability assurance?
• How will the market and auditors react to future enforcement cases?
Ulrike underlines the importance of FAR in helping to get access to relevant data.
This video is an addition to Ulrike’s FARview podcast that was published last July: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsTz2AFlpSc
FAR also recently published a booklet with 5 summaries of interesting articles on sustainability assurance. Here’s a link to the pdf of the publication:

FARview #31: Christian Peters over leren in het accountantsberoep
Wat weten we al over leren in het accountantsberoep? Als antwoord op deze vraag analyseerde Christian Peters ruim 100 academische artikelen, samen met Bart Dierynck en Kathryn Kadous. De resultaten daarvan zijn opgenomen in hun artikel ‘Learning in the auditing profession: A framework and future directions’ dat recent is verschenen in Accounting, Organizations and Society.
In deze korte podcast vertelt Christian Peters (Nanyang Technological University) over de opzet van het artikel en schetst hij de belangrijkste take-aways.
Het raamwerk voor de analyse is gebaseerd op twee dimensies: (1) de locatie van het leren (tijdens de controleopdracht of buiten de controleopdracht); en (2) de rol van anderen in het leerproces (actief of passief).
Een van de take-aways is dat mentor en protegee het best op informele wijze met elkaar in contact kunnen staan, waarbij de mentor helpt bij de ontwikkeling van de protegee, een rolmodel vormt en sociale steun biedt. De mentor-relatie tussen beiden moet echter niet te lang duren.
Christian bespreekt ook nog resultaten op het gebied van prestatiebeoordeling, ‘overconfidence’, socialisatie en het proces van ‘ervaring-reflectie-conceptualisatie-experimenteren’.
