The New Codes of Accounting: Algorithms, Climate, and the Global Tax System.
Synopsis
The digital transformation process, which transforms accounting professionals from data recorders into strategic advisors, is fundamentally altering the expectations placed on the profession and its practitioners, as well as the associated competencies. Accounting, which is expected to meet emerging information needs, has evolved from a static process where only financial data is recorded into a dynamic information system that shapes the future of businesses and encompasses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data. This book examines the "breaking" points experienced by the profession regarding the digital transformation process, the climate crisis, and the global tax order. The content is structured around four main axes: Digital Transformation, Sustainability (Green Accounting), Risk Management, and the New Tax Order.
