Exploring Disruptive Technologies, Sustainability and Ethical Challenges in Accounting and Finance

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect the latest thought-provoking research in the field of disruptive technologies, sustainability and business ethics as they relate to accounting and finance. Papers submitted for publication consideration may examine the risks and/or opportunities posed by disruptive/emerging technologies on various sustainability, corporate social responsibilities, business ethics, and accounting and financial management issues, using quantitative (archival, experimental, or survey) or qualitative methodology. All articles published should advance knowledge in accounting or finance, and are of interest to academics and/or practitioners. With the advent of global big data proliferation, this Special Issue welcomes papers that examine cultural and geographical diversity in studies related to both new and old technologies. Papers can investigate ways to better understand the risks and/or opportunities in technology uses that pervade human interactions, the corporate workplace, or the online marketplace, affecting accounting and/or financial management issues that have moral, social, and economic implications to supplier and/or industry relationships worldwide. Papers can also investigate the intersection of technologies and sustainability at all-functional areas, affecting individual or corporate decision-making in the face of profit-versus-ethics concerns, taking into consideration short- versus long-term individual or corporate investment decision frameworks in blockchain, crypto and/or artificial intelligence tools like large language models.
