The China Accounting and Finance Review (CAFR) 2023 Special Issue Conference

As digital changes continue to affect prevailing systems and procedures, many professions run a risk of becoming obsolete in the new global economy. While businesses are in a state of flux, the reporting language changes too. Accounting, the language of business, adapts to the volatile environment to satisfy stakeholders’ needs. With the development of digital technology, the digital economy has become a crucial driver of economic growth. To better understand how the digital economy has evolved, we offer a platform for discussions on the following topics:

Digitisation and accounting standards change

Management accounting in a digital economy

Corporate social responsibility in a digital economy

Financial risks in a digital economy

Digital economy and business environment
