Theme: The role of Accounting, Finance & Governance in Sustainability and Sustainable Development
24-26 June 2022
Istanbul, Turkey
The intrinsic bias in traditional finance, accounting, and governance models is liable for much of the pollution, and inequalities in resource allocation in society and nations. The notion of shareholder wealth maximisation, excessive management compensation, and minimal importance to the needs of other stakeholders have also significantly added value to the limitation of traditional finance, accounting, and governance models. Enhanced policy making on sustainability and sustainable development is therefore crucial for combating the problems caused by corporations which is necessary for the future of our planet. It is therefore argued that establishing new models on sustainable finance, accounting, and governance will be significantly important for bringing not only sustainability but also equality and diversity in resource allocation in society and communities.
The United Nation’s [UN] 2030 vision for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and role of governments in achieving net zero economies are therefore regarded as significant developments towards the sustainability of our planet. It is therefore argued that for achieving the UNs sustainable development goals a close network should be established between government bodie, and private and public sector organisations. This network should be engaged in promoting responsible and sustainable business practices worldwide. Moreover, the role of board of directors in strategic decision making about finance, accounting, accountability, and governance related models is also crucial and need further research. We therefore argue that in the current context the role of sustainable finance, accounting and governance is crucial and related research should be at the heart of the research agenda all over the world.
The launch of the second annual conference covering ‘The role of Accounting, Finance & Governance in Sustainability and Sustainable Development’ under the platform of ASFAAG is a significant effort towards sustainability and attainment of the UN’s sustainable development goals. The conference intends to bring academics, practitioners and policy makers under one platform to initiate a debate on the role of corporations in sustainability and sustainable development. The conference is expected to produce more awareness about responsible and sustainable business practices for the protection of the environment,society, communities, and nations.
The Academy of Sustainable Finance, Accounting, Accountability & Governance [ASFAAG] is proud to host this conference with its partners, and researchers from all over the world are encouraged to submit their completed manuscripts or work in progress for presentation in the conference.
