Siobhan Hammond

Siobhan is a sustainability reporting expert and led the Australian Accounting Standards Board in developing the draft Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards before starting her own business – Mind the GAAP Pty Ltd – which focuses on education and implementation of reporting, assurance and ethics standards related to sustainability.

Siobhan has previously worked as a project manager at the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and led several of their Disclosure Initiative projects (Definition of Material and Disclosure of Accounting Policies) as well as the Extractive Activities project. During her time at the IASB, Siobhan became a materiality and disclosure specialist for financial reporting and is now applying that specialty to help others implement sustainability reporting standards including those issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board.

She started her career as an external auditor and, before working with the IASB, spent several years gaining experience and understanding of a broad range of financial reporting matters across both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.

Siobhan will be working with Basford Consulting as our Head of Sustainability Reporting to better support our clients in understanding the impacts of sustainability on financial reporting and implementing the standards.
