Applications for approval to carry out the assurance of sustainability reporting

The SIA considers applications for approval to carry out the assurance of sustainability reporting.

Until and including the year 2025, special transitional provisions apply, which mean that most authorised auditors in Sweden are also automatically approved to carry out the assurance of sustainability reporting.

From the year 2026 onwards a requirement will apply which means that authorised auditors who want such approval must first undergo an eight-month long special practical training in sustainability. This training can either be part of the regular practical training or be an addition to it.

An approval to carry out the assurance of sustainability reporting is usually valid for as long as the authorisation is valid. An auditor can, however, request for revocation of the approval.

The SIA issues regulations in this field.

We currently do not have any e-services to apply for an approval or to request for the revocation of an approval. Therefore, please submit a personally signed application/request to ri@revisorsinspektionen.se
