Innovation in Undertaking ESG Reporting
The proverb, “Necessity is the mother of invention,” could not be more true for Hong Consulting, LLC. It was created to help other companies with environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) reporting, but it was born of a passion for helping others. And while many may feel that ESG shouldn’t be an accounting concern, they couldn’t be more wrong. Adrian Hong, CPA owner of Hong Consulting, LLC, joins Innovation Insights host Donny Shimamoto to discuss the benefits of undertaking ESG reporting and how if taken seriously, it can really provide context for the financial statements, the context for the business.
