Contemporary Challenges in Finance and Accounting: Insights into Markets, Reporting and Sustainability

This proceedings volume explores current issues in finance, accounting, economics, and sustainable development. Featuring select contributions presented at the 26 th Annual Conference on Finance and Accounting (ACFA 25) held in Prague, Czech Republic, this book explores topics such as financial market dynamics, risk management, exchange rate modeling, corporate disclosure practices, auditing reforms, and the evolving role of sustainability in business strategies. The enclosed studies employ diverse methodological approaches including econometric modeling, systematic literature reviews, bibliometric analysis, and regional cases studies, providing both theoretical insights and practical applications. Integrating perspectives from developed and emerging economies, the volume highlights how global crises, regulatory frameworks, and cultural contexts shape financial performance, market behavior, and organizational resilience. This book is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand and navigate contemporary challenges in economic and financial systems.
