Innovations in Corporate Reporting

This book analyses the current trends and innovations of corporate reporting, including digitalization, sustainability, and artificial intelligence. Corporate habits and cultural changes have also brought new needs in practice and regulation, both mandatory and voluntary. The book examines national and international regulations and the various types of accounting standards (financial and non-financial). It addresses the journey of financial and non-financial data’s rise in importance, including areas such as sustainability, technology, and simplification, and explores these effects on business.
