About the conference
Scholars, students and interested public wishing to know more about bridging the gap between international accounting rules (IFRS) and local applications are invited to share their knowledge and experience at this ONLINE event, organised by Metropolitan University Prague and the Anglo-American University, Prague. Issues to be discussed involve finance, accounting, management, and international trade as well as timely concerns brought by the current uneasy pandemic situation.
With the current trend towards accounting harmonisation, this conference aims to focus on specific accounting differences and what lies behind them, as well as topics related to international trade.
