Edition identity
Where the conference story began
Accounting and finance through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The first edition invited academics and practitioners to examine how accounting and finance can support sustainable practices, help organisations respond to emerging challenges and contribute to progress toward the SDGs. It established the research community and Bari venue that would become the foundation for later editions.
