REG525 Digitalization and Accounting (not offered)

Autumn 2024

  • Topics

    The overall aim with this course is to learn and reflect upon the emerging stream of research related to digitalization and accounting. Specifically, the course ambition is to equip PhD students with ideas of digitalization (new technology) and its relation to accounting issues and in addition being able to connect it to their own research projects. In a long term perspective, the course seeks to contribute to the development of PhD students´ analytical skills, and therefore facilitate the number of individual and joint international publications by researchers from Nordic countries. This course is included in the Nordic cooperation of PhD courses in accounting.

    The course will consist of several parts:

    The course start with a more general presentation of why it is important with research on digitalization and accounting, and what areas that need to be addressed. The follow three days will focus on three different areas; Smart cities and dialog accounting, The digital CFO, and digital platforms and the implications for accounting. The last day will focus on theories from other fields and theoretical pluralism.
