Deloitte - BusySeasonTalks Podcasts

In the context of Sustainability reporting, we seek answers to that question. Accountants play an important role in ensuring the integrity of organisations. They are constantly balancing between complying with laws and regulations, applying ethical standards and meeting the expectations of our broad group of stakeholders. But where do we draw the line? What does society expect from the accountant? And what do we tell us with our statement with first a limited degree of certainty and later a reasonable degree of certainty. These are questions that are on the minds of both accountants and many companies that are preparing for CSRD. Tülay and Lotte will discuss this with Barbara Majoor (Nyenrode Business University) and Wim Bartels (Deloitte). Listen to this new episode and discover with us how accountants navigate the complex world of ESG.

In this in-depth episode, Hakan and Tülay talk to Gera Hamer. From 1 June 2023, she will be Managing Partner of Deloitte's Audit & Assurance practice. She has an exciting job as the leader and ultimately responsible for the Audit & Assurance practice at Deloitte in the Netherlands. We spoke with her about, among other things, Gera as a person, her type of leadership, the developments within Deloitte and in the profession and important themes such as Leadership and Talent.

In this Podcast, Lotte van Mierlo & Tulay Dilsiz-Gedik talk to an inspiring leader in the profession, namely none other than Wim Bartels! Get to know Wim as a person, discover what drives him and hear how he has influenced the profession and how it affects him. Step into the world of ESG and be inspired by his insights. And rest assured, despite the alphabet soup of abbreviations, we explain everything well using concrete examples. Many know Wim as a senior partner in sustainability at Deloitte, where he holds a European role. As part of EFRAG, he is closely involved in the developments surrounding the CSRD and the ESRS. From his background as an accountant, he focuses on reporting, assurance and sustainability risks. With an impressive career and a commitment to sustainability, Wim Bartels is a source of inspiration for many who are striving for a more sustainable world.

In this episode, Tulay and Arif discuss everything about ESG, but in a light-hearted way. As always, we have very nice guest speakers in the sitting room of accountants. Sitting at the table are Jacques Buith (Deloitte) and Michel Scholte (Impact Institute & True Price). In this episode, we discuss a crucial issue in the Sustainability landscape. Since September 2023, we are at a 'half-time' moment with the Sustainability Development Goals (the SDGs), an ideal time to reflect on the current status. We will also explore the concept of 'Beyond GDP' and how it can affect our future. And rest assured, despite the alphabet soup of abbreviations, we explain everything well using concrete examples.
