Human rights in a new legal landscape: A tailored program for internal auditors
Forvis Mazars and Shift are proud to announce our first-ever business and human rights training program for internal auditors. We are offering a series of expert-led workshops to equip internal auditors with the essential knowledge and tools to navigate the EU’s new legislative landscape of corporate sustainability and human rights.
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) have introduced a new regulatory framework. Companies are now required to identify impacts to people, in a way that enhances transparency and accountability. Internal auditors will be at the forefront of this change, playing a critical role in helping organisations mitigate risk, enhance transparency and build effective tools to address human rights impacts.
Delivered by leading experts from Forvis Mazars and Shift, the program will combine online and in-person sessions within a small peer group. These sessions will fully prepare internal auditors to adapt to the significant changes brought about by the new regulations.
