Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), accounting, and sustainability, focusing on their critical role in achieving the United Nations' Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As organizations and institutions strive to balance financial performance with environmental and social responsibilities, emerging technologies like AI are transforming accounting practices, as well as enhancing transparency, efficiency, and decision-making for sustainability.
The key themes of this Special Issue include the relationship between accounting practices and AI technologies in promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. Special attention will be given to SDG 4—Quality Education—addressing how higher education institutions can foster new skills and competencies to prepare professionals for a future driven by AI and sustainable practices. Contributions are also encouraged relating to the role of AI in supporting corporate accountability and risk management, as well as reporting frameworks aligned with sustainability objectives.
This Special Issue welcomes interdisciplinary research that bridges AI innovation, accounting frameworks and sustainable development strategies.
