Globally consistent accounting standards urged for carbon-related instruments
KARACHI: A new joint study by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and the University of Glasgow's Adam Smith Business School highlight the urgent need for globally consistent accounting standards for carbon-related instruments. The research, titled Reality of accounting for carbon-related instruments, reviewed 300 companies in high-emitting sectors and found significant inconsistencies in how these instruments are treated in corporate financial reports. Currently, there is no dedicated IFRS Accounting Standard for carbon-related instruments, leading companies to create their own accounting policies. According to Professor Ioannis Tsalavoutas from the University of Glasgow, this discretion results in a lack of transparency and comparability, with inconsistent terminology and methodologies undermining confidence in sustainability claims. To address this gap, ACCA and the University recommend developing a globally applicable accounting standard. This would guide companies on defining the scope, recognition, measurement, and disclosure of carbon-related instruments, ensuring faithful representation of their financial and environmental impact. They also suggest adopting a unified term—'carbon-related instruments'—to promote harmonized communication across markets. ACCA has supplemented the report with two practical articles offering insights for decision-makers and finance teams, including workflows based on current IFRS standards and the broader implications for ESG reporting, tax risk, and reputation. Aaron Saw, Head of corporate reporting insights, at ACCA, emphasized that quality information on these instruments is vital for stakeholders. ACCA calls on regulators, standard-setters, and finance professionals to engage with the findings, to build a more transparent and trustworthy carbon market. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

KP CM takes exception of ‘misrepresentation' of his statement
PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Khan Gandapur has expressed strong concern over the Indian government's misrepresentation of his recent statement, describing it as a deliberate attempt to deflect attention from India's longstanding involvement in sponsoring terrorism and destabilizing peace in the region. In his detailed policy statement issued here in this regard on Friday, he condemned Indian longstanding involvement in terrorism across Pakistan and the entire region, stating that India has consistently played a destabilizing role, both directly and through covert means. 'As ex-Minister for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Affairs, I am fully aware of the ground realities,' he said. 'I am writing to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and will personally appear before it to expose what India has done, and continues to do, in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan', he added. The chief minister said that India's involvement in orchestrating terrorism in Pakistan is undeniable, particularly highlighting India's network of over a hundred consulates in Afghanistan — which, according to him, were never meant for diplomacy or trade but served as operational hubs to orchestrate terrorism within Pakistan. He vowed to expose India's role in fuelling instability, especially in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying: 'I will go there personally and tell the whole world what India has done. I will reveal how deeply your government is involved in terrorism in Pakistan. Our entire party, led by Imran Khan, and the Pakistani nation, are united in defending our country.' He further said that India orchestrated attacks on Chinese nationals, strategic infrastructure, and other assets in Pakistan, saying that all such incidents are ultimately linked to Indian interests.
