The Future of Accounting

The world of accounting is undergoing rapid change. Advancing digitalization and automation, driven by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), are revolutionizing our ways of working. But that's not all. The increasing importance of cybersecurity, European standards for sustainability reporting (ESRS), and ESG present us with new challenges. However, they also offer significant opportunities. Real-time reporting enables informed decision-making, and the integration of sustainability criteria helps us create long-term value and minimize risks. To meet these important changes, we must continuously adapt and evolve our practices and standards.

The Accounting Summit is the premier trade fair and conference to discuss these critical issues with top-notch speakers, experts, and innovators, to stay informed about current trends, exchange best practices, and actively shape the future of the accounting industry.

Taking place on September 16th and 17th in Düsseldorf.

The Accounting Summit is a format that is now three years young and, in my opinion, has "polished up" accounting and created the right mix and acceptance with experts, well-known companies and innovative start-ups. It brings together decision-makers who all have a digital agenda and can benefit from each other. And all of this with high-quality networking, an open exchange and a relaxed atmosphere.
