XIX International ASEPUC Meeting 2020
"Current events and perspectives for the future of Accounting in a global and digital economy"
The biannual meeting organized by the Spanish Association of Accounting Professors (ASEPUC) should be understood as a space, characterized by academic and scientific rigor, for debate and reflection on issues related to teaching and research in Accounting. On this occasion, ASEPUC has placed its trust in the area of Financial Economics and Accounting at the University of Salamanca (USAL) for the organization of what will be its nineteenth meeting on September 15 and 16, 2020.
The XIX International ASEPUC Meeting will be held in Salamanca under the slogan “News and perspectives for the future of Accounting in a global and digital economy”. Without diminishing the importance that the development of accounting and auditing standards, national and international, has for the proper assessment of companies and their risks, the slogan constitutes an attempt to focus the debate around one of the main challenges that today corporate information systems have to address, and it is to operate in a social scenario characterized by digital disruption and a society increasingly concerned to know the impacts of the activity carried out by different organizations, beyond those traditionally associated to the economic dimension. Voluntariness regarding the content of social and environmental information or the integrated report that companies must or may disclose, and the application or not of international standards, should make us reflect on the comparability and consistency of these reports.
New technologies - Big Data, Cloud, IoT, RR.SS., Hyperconnectivity - have evolved at great speed, creating a new context where ideas are born and exchanged, and where business opportunities arise. Digital environments that favor the availability of large volumes of data, whose record is a priori its main value, and that seemed to knock out the information asymmetries, but whose usefulness and reliability have begun to be questioned.
In this sense, accounting professionals and researchers must promote that the proven know-how of accounting information systems is required from other sources and other types of information. Our discipline understands that data only becomes information when it is identified that it is relevant for decision making, it is captured, processed, aggregated and communicated in a standardized way for its analysis and interpretation. All this, without prejudice to the audit and verification processes that guarantee the absence of errors, omissions and biases in the process of preparing the information.
In addition to these new professional challenges for Accounting, researchers, focused in recent years on basic research publishable in journals indexed in the Journal Citation Report and other similar international database, we face new requirements associated with the relevance of knowledge, an asset in itself, and its transfer to society to achieve more efficient economic growth and, therefore, greater social welfare. At our disposal are means and structures such as European projects Horizon 2020, Life, etc. that require international and interdisciplinary teams and collaborations with the business field. In this sense, in order to enhance the debate and reflection as wide as possible in terms of approaches, methodologies, countries and cultures, the participation of academics and professionals from different countries and scientific fields is promoted.
Thus, the Organizing Committee of the XIX International ASEPUC Meeting welcomes the national and international scientific community linked to Accounting, inviting them to participate actively in this congress, contributing to enrich basic and applied knowledge, by presenting their work in the conference that will take place in Salamanca (Spain), from Sptember 15 to 16, 2020.
We extend this invitation to all those interested in the field of training and research on new technologies, information systems and business decision-making, as well as the professional world, firmly believing that our work only makes sense if it is transferred to society as a whole.
We wait for you in Salamanca, wishing to share with you our history, culture, knowledge, leisure and gastronomy!
