Technological developments and sustainability are stimulating new ways to collect, manage, and create information, integrating financial and non-financial sources of data from different fields (financial accounting, sustainability accounting, carbon accounting, Earth observation data, etc.) to gain insights into business and its sustainable impact that are currently often invisible or ignored. The aim of this special Panel is to explore, from the comprehensive perspective of CFOs, why and how the rigorous approach of accounting combined with the generativity of smart technologies can play a pivotal role in addressing sustainability challenges and in driving people and businesses towards a better future. Interaction between Universities, Institutions and Firms in the development of new approaches and new points of view of business to activate an effective and efficient sustainable transition for people and society is strategic.

This special Panel is organized by SIDREA (Italian Society of Academicians in Business Administration and Accounting) Research Group on “Reporting for Smart Technologies, Digitalization and Intellectual Capital”, ANDAF (Italian Association of Chief Financial Officers) Technical Committee of “Information & Communication Technology” and ItAIS the Italian Association of Information Systems. CFOs, managers, consultants, capability providers and academicians will participate in the round table discussing and providing their forward-looking views.
