| IIM Jammu to host First Online Virtual International Conference titled “Sustainable Finance, Economics & Accounting in the Pre- and Post- Pandemic Era” | |
Jammu, July 29 (Scoop News)-IIM Jammu will be hosting its first Online International Conference on “Sustainable Finance, Economics & Accounting in the Pre- and Post- Pandemic Era” on July 30-31, 2021. The two-day Conference would be done jointly in association with The University of Bradford School of Management, United Kingdom. The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI) and The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) are also the Partnering professional bodies associated with the Conference.
The theme of the Conference was chosen keeping in view the deficiencies of our current economic development model, which is increasingly becoming unsustainable. A sustainable economic development model would desire us to work around and be conscious of externalities arising from our policies/actions at the country and the firm level. We need to reset the fulcrum of our developmental policies and corporate decisions away from the free market fundamentalism and corporate profitability. At the country level, new indicators of growth that can complement the GDP growth rate are to be adopted. Similarly, new indicators of corporate performance which can complement corporate profitability are to be adopted. These indicators must capture non-monetary positive & negative externalities of our policies/corporate decisions. In this way, we will steer away from the fictitious growth/corporate profitability and will be able to embrace sustainable Economics and Finance in our policy formulation and corporate decision making.
The Conference will be inaugurated by Prof. B.S. Sahay, IIM Jammu on July 30, 2021. The two-day conference will host numerous invited talks by luminaries from academics, Industry, and Professional bodies on the main theme of the conference.
