The fields of finance and accounting play a critical and transformational role in equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). This symposium will provide an opportunity to explore some of these key challenges, opportunities and resolutions of the concept of diversity in the fields of finance and accounting.

The symposium will examine a wide range of key finance, data analytics and accounting topics, ranging from sustainable 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.
