The Finance and Accounting 2025 Annual Symposium is a two-day meeting, organised by the School of Finance and Accounting at Westminster Business School, University of Westminster
About the event
Theme: AI in Accounting and Finance
In the current disruptive era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly revolutionising the fields of accounting and finance. The latest innovations in AI are transforming financial services and financial reporting. For example, using language models in accounting and finance paves enormous opportunities in these fields. AI technologies will impact the users, firms, and society at large of how financial information is processed and used. Concurrently, one needs to be aware of the potential risks of AI.
The symposium will examine a wide range of key finance, data analytics and accounting topics, ranging from AI, digital assets, asset pricing, corporate finance, financial econometrics, forecasting, fund management, market sentiment, sustainable development, thematic investing, financial reporting, accounting standards, taxation to big data and data analytics. Submissions in all areas of finance, data analytics and accounting are encouraged. Submissions exploring AI in accounting and finance will be particularly welcome.
