MAIN THEME

ABOUT UGEFIC 2026
Navigating the Future of AI & Sustainable Economy
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the global economic landscape, transforming how businesses operate, how managers make decisions, and how accountants report and assure financial information.
As AI systems increasingly automate decision-making, generate predictive insights, and reshape organizational processes, questions of governance, accountability, and ethics have become central to ensuring that this transformation benefits society as a whole.
01
AI GOVERNANCE
Balancing Innovation with Responsibility
Alongside the promise of greater efficiency and innovation, the adoption of AI raises significant governance challenges, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, transparency, accountability, and the erosion of trust when AI-driven decisions are not adequately explained or supervised.
For business, management, and accounting professions in particular, the integration of AI into financial reporting, auditing, risk management, and strategic decision-making demands new ethical frameworks and governance structures that safeguard integrity while enabling innovation.
02
SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION
AI as an Enabler of Sustainable Economic Development
At the same time, the world continues to pursue sustainable economic transformation in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
AI, when responsibly governed, has the potential to accelerate this transformation by optimizing resource allocation, enhancing transparency in reporting, and enabling more informed and inclusive decision-making across sectors.
