SUPERVISION

Commission Notice on the interpretation of certain legal provisions in Directive 2013/34/EU (Accounting Directive), Directive 2006/43/EC (Audit Directive), Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 (Audit Regulation), Directive 2004/109/EC (Transparency Directive), Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 (first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards, ‘first ESRS delegated act’), and Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation, ‘SFDR’) as regards sustainability reporting · European Union

52) Which authorities are in charge of supervising compliance with the requirements for the sustainability report? The CSRD does not introduce any changes to the pre-existing sanctioning regime under the Accounting Directive, which requires Member States to have in place penalties that are effective, proportionate, and dissuasive for the cases of non-compliance by undertakings subject to Accounting Directive requirements (103). Undertakings’ compliance with sustainability reporting requirements is therefore subject to the national sanctioning regime in place for the management report of the undertakings subject to the Accounting Directive. In any case, the sustainability report must be always subject to assurance by an assurance provider under Article 40a(3) of the Accounting Directive (104).
