Now, more than ever, enterprises seek ways to reduce costs to help maintain profits. IT offers a suitable target for sustainability and “green” efforts—efforts that can pay off in ways other than financial by creating a reputation for corporate social responsibility and providing a differentiator in the competition to attract employee talent. Audit and assurance professionals will be called on to play a role as well, by ensuring the continued effectiveness of sustainability efforts and compliance with appropriate legislation and regulation.
