With growing pressure from investors to disclose consistent, quantifiable, and dependable ESG metrics, professional accountants play an important role to go for new digitalised technologies in improving sustainable innovations and financial reporting.
Professional accountants are also incorporating ESG components to help the organisation in their sustainability reporting standards to align with the standardisation of the organisation’s digital transformation strategies.
This convergence of both digital transformation and sustainability does not only influence the market conditions in determining investor behaviour , but also moves us towards an organisational financial success.
As technology enables more and more industries to reach that inflection point, there will be less and less price inflation across the market as a whole.
Short bursts of industry-specific inflation may continue to occur but are predicted to be less severe and last for shorter lengths of time.
Ease your worries about sustained long-term inflation, even if the government continues to provide direct financial assistance to people, with a clear understanding on how digital technology can outweigh the inflation rate.
Work plays a significant role in many of our lives. We spend a lot of time, earn our living, and frequently make friends there as well. Your overall well-being, including your mental health, might benefit from having a rewarding career.
Good mental health at work and good management go hand in hand and it is evident that workplaces with a high level of mental well-being are more productive. How do we create such workplaces? Unearth the answer through this session!
Remote or hybrid working has become the new norm for most organisations since the outbreak of the COVID-19. This paradigm shift has brought about a growing concern over its impact on knowledge transfer, an aspect of knowledge management infrastructure that is critical for organisational success and competitive advantage.
Knowledge transfer centres on co-workers sharing knowledge and experience with each other for dissemination of best practices and enabling assistance. This session examines the impact of the new work settings on knowledge transfer, explores the knowledge transfer challenges, and implements organisational strategies to achieve an effective knowledge transfer.
There is an inherent conflict when a professional accountant who is earning audit fees also offers consultancy services to the same audit client. This calls for a need to separate audit and advisory businesses.
For example, The UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has ordered the Big Four to put their UK auditing and consulting practices in separate business units by 2024. In 2022, EY, one of the Big Four, had announced its plan to split the auditing and consulting divisions.
In this session, we have invited experts in this field to explore the implication of moving out the lucrative high-margin consulting service from the less profitable auditing division. In relation to the dissolution exercise, the speakers will discuss the growth opportunities of non-audit services, and the future of auditing, accounting and consultancy services of professional accountants.
Remote working arrangements have been clearly seen as a new mode of work introduced since early 2020 evidenced by the global pandemic. This has facilitated many businesses to offer flexible work arrangements i.e. work from anywhere rather than conventional working arrangements to the employees as a mechanism to recruit and retain talents.
Significant tax issues have been identified typically for employees who work outside from their countries of employment where the national borders were closed and travel bans were imposed lifted by the immigration department by the government to minimise the spread of COVID-19 worldwide.
Find out about potential double taxation issues on the income on the employees and whether this would create additional tax obligation to the employers if their employees were to work outside of the country of residence.
Join us in recognising the breadth of accounting knowledge and skills accessible to all attendees with more than 20 booths presenting fascinating activities featuring corporate accounting and financial enterprises from across the world.
