The 5th International Conference on Accounting and Finance (InCAF 5) is organized by the Master of Accounting Program (MAKSI), Faculty of Business and Economics, Universitas Islam Indonesia.
We welcome empirical, conceptual, and review papers that examine how accounting and finance can adopt intelligent technologies, strengthen sustainability, and protect professional integrity and public trust. Papers that speak directly to the theme are given priority in session allocation and journal recommendation.
Topics include, but are not limited to
Theme-relevant angles include AI and data analytics in audit and reporting, algorithmic bias and accountability, ESG and sustainability assurance, greenwashing, fraud detection, regulatory frameworks for innovation, and competencies for future accountants.
Only complete, original full papers in English are accepted; abstract-only submissions are not reviewed.
