Sustainable Finance & ESG
„The most horizontal challenge in my career”
- CFO of one of Europe’s leading financial service groups -.
ESG and sustainable finance challenges specific to the financial services industry have an ongoing impact and a complexity that makes it easy to lose orientation. We support you with a clear view of the specific priorities in your institution. With our extensive experience, we transform "ESG islands" into efficient business processes.
The internal allocation of ESG-specific roles and tasks often still needs to be calibrated to the desired target state across all levels in most institutions. Here are e.g. efficiency, process quality, but also corporate policy aspects to be taken into account in the target picture.
Our teams support with the design and implementation of your ESG governance.
Even with the current mandatory requirements, a new universe of data has emerged, which is usually far away from the data previously available in the company, both technically and methodologically. The mandatory ESG data requirements for your company, as well as the methods and processes based on them, will expand significantly in the coming years. In addition, significantly more comprehensive and granular ESG data will be required for internal management and for the implementation of your own ESG-related products and services.
Our team supports you in finding the optimal portfolio for your institution from external ESG-data purchase, own ESG-data collection and methodical derivation from inventory data to to to build up ESG-pooling solutions in your industry to find.
Together with our technology partners we support you with selection and integration of the optimal ESG IT- solutions for your challenge.
The development of a suitable internal management for ESG & Sustainable Finance dimensions is still missing at most companies.
In addition to the external requirements for the integration of ESG aspects into internal management, the main drivers for the implementation of ESG controlling are the increased information requirements of stakeholders, the management of external ESG reporting obligations during the year, and the requirements of the market units for the distribution of ESG products.
We support you with our extensive, interdisciplinary experience in the holistic integration into your internal management - from the ESG-toplevel KPI to the product controlling.
The challenges in external ESG reporting increase almost simultaneously in three dimensions:
Ongoing expansion of companies affected by external ESG reporting requirements
Dynamic growth in the breadth and depth of reporting requirements
Increase quality requirements by rapidly aligning the audit assertions to be made by auditors with core elements of financial reporting
In addition, uncertainties remain regarding the future-proof implementation of external ESG reporting requirements due to competing standards and, in some cases, overlapping regulatory and accounting requirements.
We are your experienced and reliable partner for external ESG reporting. We offer from support for strategic decisions through specialist design and implementation to and the assumption of your reporting duties in outsourcing to us, a holistic service package.

Financial Instrument Reporting
Financial instruments are often the largest and most complex items in financial reporting. Proper initial implementation and ongoing optimization are crucial for correct, controllable and efficient reporting to all stakeholders.
We support you on the efficient implementation of new and existing requirements under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and IFRS as well as the additional requirements of auditors and supervisors that are relevant for your company.
Our consulting approach is based on a sound understanding of their economic perspective. Building on this, we ensure the optimal implementation for your goals in an interdisciplinary manner, from assessment / modeling to controls and documentation to the optimal exercise of options and discretionary powers.
Our range of services covers the entire life cycle of all types of financial instruments. From strategies for balance sheet and P&L management, recognition and measurement, disclosure, notes to the financial statements, to general special regulations - such as hedge accounting - or industry-specific standards, e.g.B. IDW BFAs on accounting for the trading portfolio or loss-free valuation in the banking book.
In this context, we advise both on completely new implementations - such as foundations or licensing of regulated companies, as well as on extensions such as IFRS or HGB implementations, as well as new standards.
Over time, there is almost always a need to optimize the initially established financial instrument Accounting & Reporting. These are often caused by
internal changes (such as type and scope of economic business model & control),
external need for action (such as new standards or auditor findings) or
Rationalization measures (digitization and process efficiency) triggered.
Our experienced Financial Instrument team supports you in bringing your methods and processes to your desired state, creating real added value for your company.
