AASB S2.

Climate-related financial disclosures aligned with IFRS S2.

What it is

AASB S2 is Australia’s adoption of the ISSB’s IFRS S2 climate disclosure standard. Reporting entities must disclose Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with stated methodology, source-attested activity data, and governance arrangements over climate-related risks. Fydis pulls activity data from your operational systems, binds it to AASB clauses, and produces the disclosure with full citation lineage. Assurance is provided under ASAE 3410 (Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements), the separate AUASB assurance standard.

Who it affects

Group 1 reporting entities first (FY25), expanding through Group 2 (FY26) and Group 3 (FY27). Listed entities, large corporates, and APRA-regulated entities are all in scope on the staggered timeline.

Regulators ask for specifics: the cell, the row, the captured-at hash, the named approver, and the clause a figure answers. Fydis returns those for every figure under AASB S2.

Frequently asked

Is the partial Evidence stage state a blocker?

Per-figure governance-body review is roadmap; disclosure-level review is in production. Most assurance providers accept disclosure-level review for the first reporting period under ASAE 3410.

How does Fydis handle Scope 3 estimation uncertainty?

Each figure carries a confidence interval and the methodology version. The drawer shows the underlying activity data hash, the emission factor source, and the calculation function.

Before the briefing

Score your current outputs against the 12-question audit-readiness checklist. Most teams find a few gaps the first time through. Bring them to the briefing and we will work the AASB S2 clauses directly.
