Webinar: New reporting requirements on digital issues

Reporting obligations are becoming more important for European entities. The responsibility of board members is increasing both on ESG information (CSRD, CS3D) and on digital information (cyber security, AI). The choice of the external auditor will be all the more crucial to support them in these strategic fields.

These two webinars, organised by ecoDa and Forvis Mazars, are designed to enlighten companies on current issues and guide them on the questions to be raised in the auditor selection process.

You’ll have the opportunity to hear from the experts on new reporting and assurance requirements on digital (webinar 1) and ESG information (webinar 2), and in addition, you'll also learn about some of the questions raised in the auditor selection process.

Webinar 1 - New reporting requirements on digital issues: what impacts for the auditor's selection?

Boards and their supervisors are confronted with new responsibilities and challenges regarding compliance and managing digital risks, including related internal and external reporting. With the introduction of new digital related EU legislations (like DORA, NIS2, CSA, DSA, DMA and the AI Act), the requirements for reporting on digital risks and related assurance have heavily increased.

The common rationale behind these legislations is to protect our society and economy from new risks spreading from the use of connected or shared information technology. Interconnected digital systems introduce risks at individual business level, for business’ ecosystems and in, a broader perspective, at macroeconomic and societal levels – the so-called systemic risks. These require new approaches for risk management and increased scrutiny from stakeholders, including clients, users and regulators. The availability of an assurance report on digital risks management is a market requirement, and a work in progress.
