  • 20 May 2020
Click here for the Memorandum summarizing the event

Overview

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), in November 2019, issued a statement saying that there has to be accounting for value creation and that it is preferable that the chief financial officer is known as the Chief Value Officer. This statement supports value creation in a sustainable manner and indicates that a change of mindset is needed. Effective corporate leaders that think about developing a company’s business model and its strategy on an integrated basis.

The theme of the 3rd colloquium was therefore Integrated Thinking and Doing an Integrated Report, a cornerstone of developing an organization’s business model and strategy on an integrated basis.
