Therefore, in terms of methodology, this study is considered exploratory, developmental and combined. . So that 7 groups of 4 people were formed from experienced accountants of companies that have a higher level of adherence in terms of sustainable development goals (SDGs) according to the reports of the Stock Exchange Organization.

Results: The results in the first phase of the study indicate the formation of a strategic reference matrix with four quadrants of "procedures related to carbon disclosure"; "Procedures related to management accounting disclosure"; It has "procedures related to the disclosure of social functions" and "procedures related to the disclosure of legal functions".
