BRSR Core Assurance Practitioner

Master the end-to-end process of conducting assurance engagements on BRSR Core disclosures mandated by SEBI for India's top listed entities. This 16-hour practitioner course covers the regulatory architecture of BRSR Core — including the phased rollout from top-250 to top-1000 companies — and equips you with the technical skills to plan, execute, and report on limited and reasonable assurance engagements under ISAE 3000 (Revised), ISAE 3410, and the corresponding Indian standards SAE 3000 and SAE 3410. You will learn how to assess materiality for ESG data, design sampling strategies for non-financial metrics, evaluate GHG emission calculations, and draft compliant assurance reports that meet SEBI's prescribed disclosure formats. The course includes practical case studies drawn from real-world BRSR filings, covering common errors in Scope 1/2/3 boundary setting, employee diversity data, waste management metrics, and water intensity calculations. Upon completion, you will be prepared to lead BRSR Core assurance engagements with confidence, regulatory precision, and professional rigour.
