Background

About Charles Abela

At the Global Reporting Initiative, my focus is on shaping sustainability reporting standards, leveraging my Fellow Certified Practising Accountant (FCPA) and Chartered Management Accountant (FCMA) credentials. Our team's work facilitates transparency and accountability of organizations, driving responsible business practices globally. Alongside this role, I continue to serve as a Reporting and Governance Expert with the Bain Advisory Network, where analytical skills are fundamental in advising on robust reporting mechanisms and governance structures. I also teach governance at the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership where I am head tutor and course convenor for a groundbreaking course - Governance for a Sustainable Future. My career is marked by a commitment to excellence in financial management and technical accounting, specifically within the realms of IFRS and sustainability reporting. Harnessing my expertise in these areas, I've led expert panels and working groups to promote standards and practices. My approach to problem-solving is both creative and pragmatic, ensuring complex projects meet their strategic objectives while maintaining critical stakeholder relationships.
