Have you received a request from a customer, lender, or insurer for emissions or sustainability data, or are you trying to work out whether mandatory climate reporting (AASB S2) applies to your business? Most businesses in this position don't need a long, expensive process. They need a clear, fast answer. I bring over 25 years' experience as a senior policy, program, and governance professional in the Australian Government, working across environment, climate change, health, and finance portfolios. I've also completed 35+ independent gateway reviews of major government programs and projects — 15 of them as Review Team Leader — assessing them rigorously against regulatory frameworks, budgets, and tight deadlines. That work has given me a sharp, practical understanding of how compliance frameworks are actually assessed, not just how they're described in guidance documents. I apply that same rigour to a focused climate and sustainability reporting audit, delivered in 48 hours. You'll get: - A plain-language answer on whether and when mandatory reporting applies to you - A clear breakdown of what's being asked of you, if the request came from a customer, lender, or insurer - An honest gap analysis — what data and systems you have versus what's missing - A short, prioritised action list for what to do next. No software upsell, no pressure into a longer engagement — just the clarity you need to move forward, backed by two decades of regulatory assessment experience applied to a fast, practical format.
