In recent years, I’ve grown increasingly aware of a critical gap: the intersection between sustainability-related risks and opportunities and economic performance…To bridge this gap, I pursued the Fundamentals of Sustainability Accounting (FSA) Credential offered by the IFRS Foundation—a globally recognized designation for professionals integrating sustainability and financial performance.

I’ll walk you through what the FSA Credential Level I Exam covers, how I prepared (with limited prior experience in sustainability), and what I believe makes this credential valuable for any accountant or finance professional looking to future-proof their career in sustainability.
