EisnerAmper Ireland at The Gloss Gala 2023

On November 15, our colleagues Jennifer Kelly, Partner, Accounting & Compliance, Carina Myles, Partner, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Karen Moloney, Director, Accounting & Compliance, and Annmarie Brophy, Director, had the pleasure of attending The Gloss Gala, in association with Goodbody, one of Ireland’s most glamorous and high-profile events for professional women. Held at the RDS, this annual occasion has been a highlight in the Irish social calendar since 2009, and this year’s edition did not disappoint. 

The Gloss Gala is a celebration of women in business, blending style, sophistication, and inspiration. The event was a fusion of a creative scene setting, a great atmosphere, a champagne supper, and guest speaker Bafta-winning broadcast journalist Kirsty Wark. 

Annmarie Brophy, Director & Karen Moloney, Director

With a diverse audience of 1,600 attendees representing various sectors, from entrepreneurs to legal finance, consulting, recruitment, banking, SMEs, media, and tech, the event offered a unique opportunity to network, entertain colleagues and clients, and connect with fellow women in business. It was an evening of relaxation, empowerment, and, of course, high fashion.

One of the highlights of the evening was The Look Business fashion show, which unfolded on a 30-meter catwalk. It was a showcase of the best that Irish retail has to offer, providing a captivating spectacle for all in attendance. 

EisnerAmper Ireland was honored to be part of this unforgettable evening, and we look forward to sharing the insights and experiences gained from The Gloss Gala 2023 with our colleagues and clients. As we reflect on this memorable night, we are grateful for the opportunity to be part of Ireland’s most impactful event for professional women and look forward to future gatherings that will continue to empower and connect women in business across the nation.

EisnerAmper Ireland Sponsors Opening Night of ‘The United States vs Ulysses’

EisnerAmper Ireland was delighted to sponsor the opening night of ‘The United States vs Ulysses’, a play by Colin Murphy, at the Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire on Thursday, 9 November. ‘The United States vs Ulysses’ is a bawdy courtroom drama that brings to life the true story of the New York trial that liberated James Joyce’s Ulysses from censorship in the United States and made Joyce a household name.  Ulysses had been banned on first publication in the United States, and for ten years the only copies available were contraband or bootlegs. That was until a hungry young publisher and an ambitious lawyer teamed up in support of Ulysses.  

An informative and insightful post-show panel discussion on free speech with Senator Michael McDowell, former Minister for Justice and former Attorney General, and Joseph Hassett, author of ‘The Ulysses Trials’, was chaired by Frank McNally, Irish Times Journalist and chief writer of An Irish Diary.  

We were delighted to welcome so many friends of the Firm to this brilliant production and to sponsor its opening night, reaffirming our commitment to supporting the arts and our communities. 

Many thanks to the cast, the post-show panel, the team at the Pavilion, to Maura O’Keeffe and her team at Once Off Productions, and to Colin Murphy for making it such a memorable evening.

  • Peter Cogan, Managing Partner, Eisner Advisory Group LLC, and Partner, EisnerAmper LLP, who provided an update from our US colleagues and shared a US perspective into what it means to flourish. 

Special thanks also to our EisnerAmper Ireland colleagues who led plenary sessions, skills workshops and team building exercises and thanks to our team members who contributed to the Q&A and workshop sessions. 

The Academy is a key part of our Firm’s all-staff training programme and is specifically designed for our professionals to accelerate their “on the job” learning and to facilitate their journey towards becoming not just great accountants but exceptional advisers and practitioners.

European Commission clarifies its amendments to the EFRAG draft standards

European Commission clarifies its amendments to the EFRAG draft standards 

During a public session of the EFRAG Sustainability Board on 14 June 2023, the European Commission (EC) provided some clarifications on its amendments contained in the draft Delegated Act adopting the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRSs) which was opened for comment last Friday.  

Some key take-aways: 

  • Removing the mandatory status on Climate Change and other Disclosure Requirements does NOT make these areas voluntary – rather it enforces the materiality approach on all sustainability topics and keeps the whole package intact.  
  • Additional phase-in provisions allows companies to start reporting in a compliant manner while they are developing processes to gather the more challenging data. 
  • The threshold of 750 employees on certain new phase-in provisions is expected to assist approx. 30,000 companies from the estimated total of 50,000 companies that will be in scope of the CSRD. 
  • EFRAG is working on guidance over the materiality process, which appears to be the most challenging area of the CSRD, but emphasized that the materiality assessment must be a robust process to ensure that all needed information is disclosed and what is not needed is not disclosed. 

European Commission adoption of Tax04 

In a closely related action, the EC on Monday 13 June 2023 adopted another Delegated Act (known as Tax04) adding additional activities to the EU Taxonomy and proposing new rules for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) rating providers, which will increase transparency on the market for sustainable investments – expected to take effect from January 2024. While some commentators believe the simultaneous application of CSRD and Tax04 is too onerous on reporters, the Commission views this package as building on and strengthening the foundations of the EU sustainable finance framework, of which the CSRD is a key component. 

 

At EisnerAmper we make sustainability simply sustainable
