Creating sustainable impact

At Data For Better, we help your organization align sustainability with financial performance. Our services are flexible and tailored to meet your specific needs.

 

Sustainability and (Non-)Financial Data Management

Whether you’re just getting started or refining your strategy, we help make your data reliable and actionable for strategic purposes. We support you with selecting the right KPIs, connecting them to your strategic goals, and integrating them into external reporting.

 

Internal Control & Data Collection

We build strong systems to support the quality of your sustainability data, helping you make better decisions and increase your impact. We support you in creating reporting manuals, designing and testing internal controls, process descriptions, setting up and improving internal reporting processes, creating dashboards and feedback loops, as well as providing hands-on support in collecting, aggregating, and consolidating data. Our focus goes beyond your own organization, as value chain information plays a crucial role in sustainability.

 

Governance & Risk Management

We focus on making organizations more robust and professional. We support companies in setting up and further professionalizing their governance by organizing the internal structure, deciding on roles and responsibilities, designing reporting formats, integrating sustainability into risk management procedures, and embedding decision-making in committees, remuneration, and board representations.

Compliance with regulations

We help you navigate the complex landscape of sustainability frameworks such as CSRD, TCFD, ISSB, CSDDD, GRI, and EU Taxonomy. With expertise in regulations and auditing, we support companies in meeting the latest sustainability requirements. From CSRD to ISSB, we help you stay prepared and compliant with all relevant regulations, including audit-proof documentation.

 

External reporting

We support companies in setting up and further professionalizing their external reporting. We assist with aligning reporting requirements such as CSRD, ISSB, or GRI, as well as translating performance data into meaningful disclosures for stakeholders. To facilitate stakeholders, we further integrate your financial and non-financial disclosures into both internal and external reporting.

 

Internal and External Assurance

External assurance is a requirement for companies based in the EU and is already an expectation from stakeholders around the globe. We support companies in assurance readiness testing, as well as professionalizing the internal organization to obtain external assurance with the least amount of administrative burden and maximum impact. We assist internal controllers, internal auditors, financial managers, and reporting managers before, during, and after external assurance. Often, we act as the link between the external auditor and the internal organization. Because we speak both languages, we are able to maximize the benefits of external assurance while minimizing the administrative burden.

Audit support

With a strong background in auditing, Data For Better is well-placed to support in executing audits, as well as enhancing the performance of various audit functions within an organization. We provide support in improving work quality, obtaining subject matter expertise, and bridging the gap between financial audits and the broad and challenging world of sustainability reporting and audit. We train accountants with practical examples from our own experience, support the development of work programs, and offer subject matter expertise.

 

Interim & Custom Programs

Whether you need a long-term project team or short-term support, we offer flexible solutions tailored to your organization. From short-term projects to full-scale programs, we deliver based on clear milestones and deliverables. Execution can be on an interim basis or against a pre-defined budget that can be used for miscellaneous support.

 

Training & Coaching

In recent years, the gap between the sustainability requirements that companies must meet and the knowledge base of professionals within organizations has widened. To meet sustainability goals, companies need all professionals to be engaged and knowledgeable. Whether it’s financial professionals or those involved in control and audit functions, everyone needs a basic understanding of sustainability requirements. Our interactive training programs help your teams master sustainability frameworks, navigate the complexities of sustainability, and connect people and their specific skill sets to the tasks at hand. We also provide coaching and sparring for in-house sustainability professionals, empowering your organization to grow confidently. Typical professionals we train include controllers, external auditors, accountants, internal auditors, risk managers, finance managers, reporting managers, sustainability managers, and CFOs.
