CAFR Special Issue Conference 2024

Research on contemporary issues in accounting and finance plays a vital role in developing new knowledge and informing practice. Through studying emerging themes in accounting and finance, this special issue endeavours to bridge the gap between theory and practice in these fields, as well as facilitating adaptations to technological innovations. To contribute to growing discussions on how contemporary issues are affecting research, this special issue offers a forum for evidence-based discussions on the following topics:

• Latest trends and changes in accounting standards
• Corporate social responsibility and sustainability
• Contemporary challenges and risks in auditing practices
• New technology solutions in accounting and finance
• Artificial intelligence and future of accountancy
• Other contemporary issues in accounting and finance
