The IABC 2026 Conference serves as a premier platform in virtual for academics, practitioners, and industry leaders to engage in critical discourse on the evolving role of accounting and business in shaping a sustainable future. Anchored in the theme "Towards a Sustainable Future: Accounting and Business Driving ESG", the conference highlights how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are increasingly embedded in organisational strategy, reporting, and decision-making. This conference aims to foster knowledge exchange through innovative practices, empirical research, and policy perspectives that strengthen ESG integration across sectors. By bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives, IABC 2026 seeks to advance responsible business practices, enhance transparency and accountability, and contribute meaningfully to sustainable economic and social development.
