Call for papers

DCF - Digitalization, Compliance, and Sustainability - Present obstacles in taxation, finance, and accounting

The process of digitalization is the primary catalyst for the transformation of tax, finance, and accounting functions. The introduction of cutting-edge technology such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and BigData is showcased. Digitalization enhances regulatory compliance and facilitates the integration of sustainability criteria into financial, accounting, and tax operations by automating processes and delivering more precise data. Businesses must constantly adjust to the dynamic nature of financial legislation. Digital tools facilitate expedited and precise adjustment to these regulatory modifications. Compliance now frequently entails conforming to sustainability reporting standards, which are gaining significance in financial reporting and corporate governance. Sustainability has transitioned from being a secondary concern to becoming a primary financial factor that impacts investment choices, risk mitigation, and company initiatives. Digitalization offers the necessary instruments to quantify, track, and document sustainability initiatives, ensuring their alignment with regulatory requirements and financial objectives.

The integration of digitalization, compliance with the rules, and commitment to sustainability is a comprehensive strategy to address contemporary issues in taxation, finance, and accounting. To bridge this complexity effectively, it is necessary to combine technology, compliance, and a commitment to sustainable practices. Practical implementations and continuing research are essential for this strategy.
