Sustainable Development and Corporate Reporting Workshop

Overview

The Sustainable Development and Corporate Reporting workshop will consider current issues in financial reporting and the future of social responsibility reporting in corporate reports. This is particularly relevant with the introduction of the new IASB framework from 2020. Integrated reporting including sustainability and current debates in Russia and the UK on accountability and corporate reporting will need to be considered carefully.

Date: Tuesday 18 June to Thursday 20 June 2019, 09:00-16:30
Location: School of Business and Law, University of Portsmouth

Aims of the workshop

The workshop will develop academic collaboration between the UK and Russia. It will provide a platform for discussion of short and long-term research collaboration opportunities with potential for longer-term sustainability. The workshop will benefit participants by providing clear objectives and professional development for scholarly writing, publication, dissemination of research and for searching and applying for grants.

Who the workshop is for

This workshop is for early career researchers (ECRs) from the UK and Russia with a financial accounting background who wish to engage with international research in this area and actively participate in projects.

There will be opportunities for networking, building teams and developing research ideas with other ECRs in similar research areas of corporate reporting.

The workshop is supported by the British Council, Portsmouth University and the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow.
