Rob Wortelboer provides assurance concerning non-financial information in the annual reports of large organizations, such as listed companies and public authorities. Whether it concerns non-financial indicators, the entire annual report or, for example, CO2 emission reports.
He studied auditing at the University of Groningen, followed by a post-master's in CSR managing & auditing at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Has worked at EY since 1999. In addition to his work at EY, he is a member of the professional field advisory committee for the assurance program at Hanze University of Applied Sciences.
“Accountancy has been around for over 130 years, but my field of expertise for just fifteen years. It's still in its infancy, and organizations are still searching too. What non-financial information is there? How do you make it accessible? And how do you ensure reliable reporting? I help bring focus: together we look at the non-financial information that is important for your organization. From sick leave to the CO2 footprint. A bank requires different choices than a chemical company, for example.”
How Rob is building a better working world
“Sustainability awareness has grown tremendously in recent years. Taking good care of ‘mother earth’ is essential in a sustainable operation, as is reliable reporting on it. It's good that companies and governments are becoming increasingly aware of this. Because the field of non-financial information and the related assurance is still fairly new terrain, I can contribute to the development. In the methodology, but also with my clients.”
