In a rapidly evolving global economy, sustainability has become a central concern for businesses, policymakers, and educators. As organisations increasingly integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their strategies, accounting and finance education must evolve to prepare future professionals for this new landscape.
Sustainability in Accounting and Finance Education explores how sustainability principles can be embedded within accounting and finance teaching, research, and professional practice. Bringing together international contributions from scholars and researchers, the book examines key themes including curriculum innovation, environmental and social accounting, ESG performance, governance, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, FinTech, and sustainability-aware assurance.
Through diverse theoretical perspectives and practical insights, the chapters highlight how emerging technologies, responsible governance, and sustainability reporting are reshaping accounting and finance education worldwide. The volume offers valuable insights for educators seeking to modernise curricula, researchers exploring sustainability-related accounting topics, and professionals interested in the future direction of the discipline.
The Business Innovation Strategies Governance and Sustainability series is aligned with SDGs and rooted on multidisciplinary perspective. It focuses on research stream from various paradigms, theoretical lenses and mixed method approaches to offer insight from both scholars and practitioners towards a better understanding of the current trends of business innovation strategies and corporate transformation towards governance and sustainability.
