Monday 08/10/2012
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 (Bernama) --
More than 10,000 finance professionals have signed up to the worldwide Accounting For The Future event organised by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
This global online event, comprising of live and pre-recorded webcasts, presentations and workshops, is available live and on-demand to those who register and will explore the role that finance professionals will play in building a stronger and sustainable global economy.
The week-long event, which started today, 8 October and will run until 12 October, will spend each day looking at five key areas.
The first day considered emerging issues related to risk management, while day two looks at the issue of valuation and how trends and developments in social and environmental accounting may lead to changes in the methods used by accountants to evaluate assets and liabilities.
The third day will consider global trends and developments in corporate disclosure, while the fourth day will focus on the importance of investor engagement and the influence which investors can have on corporations and organisations.
The final day will look at the ‘Green Economy’ “ discussing the notion of an economy based on sustainable development that aims to enable economic growth and investment, but reduces environmental impacts and risks.
These will be followed by Accounting for the Future physical events in Malaysia, UK, Ireland, Pakistan, Beijing and Hong Kong. In Malaysia, about 300 finance professionals will be gathering for the ACCA Malaysia Annual Conference on 11 October 2012, to discuss these topics as well as highlights of the Budget 2013 announcement.
Ms Jennifer Lopez, country head of ACCA Malaysia, said: “The large number of people taking part clearly demonstrates the strong interest of finance professionals to connect with their peers around the world and explore matters which affect their work. We look forward to the forthcoming discussions and debates of the key issues finance professionals are facing, and developing initiatives as a result of the outcomes of the event.”
