CAFR Special Issue Conference 2023

As digital changes continue to affect prevailing systems and procedures, many professions run a risk of becoming obsolete in the new global economy. While businesses are in a state of flux, the reporting language changes too. Accounting, the language of business, adapts to the volatile environment to satisfy stakeholders’ needs. With the development of digital technology, the digital economy has become a crucial driver of economic growth. To better understand how the digital economy has evolved, we offer a platform for discussions on the following topics:

• Digitisation and accounting standards change
• Management accounting in a digital economy
• Corporate social responsibility in a digital economy
• Financial risks in a digital economy
• Digital economy and business environment

The China Accounting and Finance Review (CAFR) 2023 Special Issue Conference, jointly organised by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Jinan University, will be held at Jinan University in Guangzhou on 2 December 2023. We particularly encourage the submission of theoretical and empirical papers that have clear implications for the role of accounting and finance in digital economy. We also welcome papers on other topics in accounting and finance. Accepted papers will be published in CAFR (subject to satisfactory revision).
