As consistent economic growth is slowly restored across the world, the next great challenge is likely to be optimization of this growth in a resource constrained world. Maximizing opportunities in emerging markets such as India, while remaining within the energy threshold and environmental carrying capacity, will require unprecedented levels of determination, innovation and cooperation. Sustainability is no longer just a fashionable word. It is a structured approach to achieving a holistic and triple bottom line growth. Apart from risk identification and mitigation, as well as a significant improvement in the efficiency of processes and systems for optimization of resources, the other proven tangible and intangible benefits of sustainability include its positive impact on employees’ morale, an organization being recognized as an employer of choice, supply chains being motivated to adopt leading practices and consumers being educated on the importance of responsible behavior.

In the current economic conditions shareholders, regulators and professional bodies are taking greater interest in how companies derive, report, disclose and communicate about their financial position. This environment is driving extensive change across accounting standards. Companies seeking to optimize their business face complexity in both IFRS and US GAAP accounting for mergers, acquisitions, IPOs and carve-outs. Accounting convergence also changes the requirements for reporting on financial instruments, fair value accounting, impairments and revenue recognition. The current environment requires business to be able to address the concerns of their stakeholders and be prepared to change processes in order to adapt accounting and finance practices. This will allow them to ensure they are positioned to respond to market demands both now and in the future.
