GBD95 Rethinking Accounting Globally with Professor Nick McGuigan of MONASH Business School

"What I don't think we've realised ...is "How do you RE-IMAGINE
accounting?"  


(#95) Hear this boundary-nudging lecture delivered at
AICPA & CIMA's London office, arranged and introduced by Ian
Selby, our Vice President of Global Research and Development
(Management Accounting). His guest speaker was Professor Nicholas
McGuigan, visiting the UK just as the 2020 World Economic Forum
Summit was beginning in Davos, Switzerland. Professor McGuigan’s
message is a powerful one. It touches on the reimagining of the
accounting profession and unpacks new visions for how educators
could transform the way they train tomorrow's finance
professionals. 


 


TALKING POINTS


Balancing what the world needs with what we're good at
doing. 

What happens when we're no longer accounting for money but
for water? 

How accountants could reimagine their own profession for the
future. 

The surprising influence of permaculture, garden design and
environmental sustainability on the way we design businesses,
cities, and entire economies. 

The profound opportunities for real change in the way
accounting educators train the next generation of
accountants.
