As the world grapples with climate change and the disruptions of AI, India's philosophy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The World is One Family) has emerged as a lighthouse. India's successful hosting of the G20 summit on this theme and the launch of the Global Biofuels Alliance demonstrate its commitment to sustainable development. Taking it forward, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is thrilled to announce the World Forum of Accountants (WOFA), a global gathering of accounting and finance professionals dedicated to shaping the future of the profession on the theme “Accountability Meets Innovation (AI): For A Sustainable Planet” on 31st January, 1st & 2nd February, 2025 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.
The mnemonic for WOFA aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the importance of caring for both the planet and its people. Topics will include AI-driven solutions, ethical considerations, policy frameworks, and collaborative efforts to ensure responsible AI for a sustainable future.
The forum brings together different organisation of the accounting and finance profession with the common goal and a shared vision of implementing the best practices, ensuring integrity and transparency. Over 6,000 attendees from all over the world will have the opportunity to engage in contemporary discussions, gain valuable insights, share experiences and contribute to shaping the future of the accounting profession.
