14th international scientific conference “Accounting and Finance for Business 2024: Towards Sustainability”
Traditionally, an accounting and finance conference is organised every two years at the Faculty of Bioeconomy Development of the Vytautas Magnus University Agriculture Academy (VMU AA). The 14th international scientific conference “Accounting and Finance for Business 2024: Towards Sustainability” will be organised in the year of the 100th anniversary of the VMU Agriculture Academy.
The role of the VMU Agriculture Academy in promoting sustainability is irreplaceable and fundamental. The relationship between the VMU Agriculture Academy and sustainability is very important and relevant because the agricultural sector has been directly related to many aspects of sustainability, therefore since 1924. Since the establishment of the Agriculture Academy, accounting and financial studies have been carried out, as well as research contributing to the sustainable development of the agricultural sector. These efforts have become important steps towards the sustainability of the agricultural sector, and as we continue to develop the topic of sustainability, we continue the scientific and practical discussions about the importance of accounting and finance in all organisations.
Today, as society becomes more concerned with issues such as climate change, social responsibility, and sustainability, accounting and finance are becoming increasingly important. But what exactly does sustainability mean in these areas? And why is it becoming such a critical issue? We invite you to join us on 14-15 November 2024 at the 14th international scientific conference “Accounting and Finance for Business 2024: Towards Sustainability”, so that we can search for answers together. The Accounting and Finance Conference will be organised remotely. The conference will be held in English.
Sustainability is one of the biggest challenges facing companies and organisations today. It means responsibility not only to shareholders, but also to society and the environment. As climate change, social responsibility, and other environmental issues become more relevant to accounting and finance, accounting and finance must become part of this sustainability movement.
Sustainability accounting and finance enables organisations to measure the social and environmental benefits they deliver. This includes not only economic aspects, but also social and environmental impacts. This is an integral part of sustainability. We believe that accounting and finance can and must contribute to business coherence and sustainable development. It is not only science but also practice that has an increasingly important role to play.
On the second day of the conference, the panel presentations and discussion session “Linking sustainability policy to future finance and accounting” will be held, where we hope to find many important answers.
Early registration is now open for participants until 3 June 2024. A reduced participation fee will apply to those who wish to make an oral message or submit a pre-recorded presentation message by 3 June 2024. Registration for presenters will open until 7 October 2024, and for listeners until 7 November 2024. There is no fee for listeners.
