AASB S2: Make Year Two a Refresh, Not a Rebuild

Australia’s first AASB S2 reporting cycle is complete. Group 1 has reported, and Group 2 organisations have now entered their mandatory reporting periods. This session looks at what we’ve learned from year one — and what it means for organisations coming next.

Join Drova and RSM for a practical look at the lessons emerging from Group 1’s first disclosures: where organisations struggled, what auditors and assurance teams are scrutinising more closely, and why AASB S2 needs to move from a one-off compliance project to a repeatable business-as-usual process.

We’ll explore a hybrid approach to AASB S2 — combining specialist advice where judgement and expertise are required with technology to manage the ongoing evidence, responsibilities, tasks and reporting. The aim is simple: make year two a refresh, not a rebuild.

You’ll also see a live demonstration of Drova’s RunGood platform, including financial materiality, clause-by-clause AASB S2 compliance tracking and disclosure report generation — all supported by a continuous evidence trail designed for ongoing reporting and assurance.

Whether you’re preparing for your first reporting period or refining your existing approach, you’ll leave with a practical view of what AASB S2-ready looks like — plus a decision tree to help determine the right approach for your organisation.
