■ Background of the event
While globalization is resuming, economic instability still exists, including a tendency toward nationalism, geopolitical risks, and currency fluctuations. In addition, M&A and EOR have become realistic options, and global value chains are becoming more complex.
Under these circumstances, the evaluation of corporate value is not limited to the three financial statements, but non-financial information such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) and human capital is playing an important role. With the advancement of AI and digital transformation (DX), the efficiency of operations and the use of data are rapidly progressing in the accounting field as well.
In order to achieve sustainable corporate growth in this increasingly diverse and complex global market, it is necessary to strategically utilize financial and non-financial information and AI to make decisions in unpredictable situations. At this forum, accounting and IT experts will provide hints on how companies can create value, which is what is required of managers right now.
