This conference will bring together thought leaders, researchers and practitioners from different countries to explore the central role of sustainability in accounting and finance. Our invited keynote speakers will address key issues such as the stock market’s reaction to the green initiatives of Italian SMEs and the huge potential of green finance. In addition, the conference will shed light on the professionalisation of accountants in post-communist environments and examine the evolving behaviour of taxpayers amidst digital business processes.

  • Giuseppe Galloppo (Italy), presentation “Green Initiatives and Stock Market Reaction of Italian SMEs”
  • Nora Marija Laurinaityte (Lithuania), presentation “Unlocking the Potential of Green Finance”

On the second day of the conference, there will be a panel discussion on ” Linking sustainability policy to future finance and accounting”, featuring presentations by Giedrė Padaigienė, Head of Sustainability for Swedbank Business Clients in Lithuania, and Ronaldas Kubilius, Head of the ESG team at PwC Lithuania. This session promises to provide valuable insights into the integration of sustainable practices in finance and accounting, as well as insights into strategic business decisions.
