Sustainable Finance Skillnet and IOB are pleased to announce the introduction of an innovative Professional Diploma in Sustainable Finance Reporting and Disclosures. Supported by Skillnet Ireland, this cutting-edge qualification aims to empower professionals working in finance, reporting, and assurance functions within the financial services industry to take the lead in ESG regulatory reporting and disclosure activities. As professionals seek to meet regulatory requirements and as the implementation of new mandatory EU sustainable finance reporting obligations approaches, it is crucial for the industry to be well-prepared. The launch of this diploma directly addresses the need for talent in this rapidly evolving field, further solidifying Ireland's position as a leading hub for sustainable finance. 

Developed and delivered by academic and industry experts specialising in ESG reporting, the diploma will offer a comprehensive curriculum. This programme is designed to deepen knowledge and expertise of reporting and disclosures in Sustainable Finance in the financial services sector in which they are currently employed (Asset Management, Banking, Insurance, Investment, Funds and Digital Assets). 

The programme is aimed at those who are employed or aspiring to be employed in (Financial) Reporting, Risk or Finance functions, or working in dedicated Sustainability Teams with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to report, advise on, and advance the sustainability agenda across and within the financial services industry sector.

The start date for this programme will be 2 October, 2023, with applications opening next week.
