CPA Ontario Centre for Sustainability Reporting and Performance Management
Objectives
The CPA Ontario Centre for Sustainability Reporting and Performance Management (CSPM) has three primary objectives:
- Support the creation and dissemination of leading-edge sustainability reporting and performance management research relevant to academia, policy-makers and standard setters, and the accounting, financial and business communities.
- Engage in thought leadership by: broadly communicating and disseminating research findings to the academic and business communities; providing networking opportunities between academics and practitioners; and contributing to national and international discussions related to sustainability reporting standards, including their regulation and issues associated with their attestation.
