PULSAR joint Education and Financial Reporting Communities of Practice 13th Workshop "Digital & AI Driven Solutions for Financial and Sustainability Reporting"
The Udine Workshop builds previous events, recognizing that effective outcomes depend not only on sound standards but also on robust systems and seamless data integration. The Workshop focuses on the role of public financial management information systems (FMIS) and digital transformation in strengthening accounting and reporting, addressing the challenge of system design, harmonization of financial processes, and integration of both core and non core modules. The Workshop features practical sessions on IFMIS architecture, modularity, and system integration, alongside discussions on data governance, interoperability standards, and the use of APIs and data sharing platforms. The Workshop examines the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence in accounting, reporting, and consolidation, highlighting the benefits and potential risks of automation, machine learning enabled classification and reconciliation, and next generation analytics that support more informed decision making in the public sector.
Hosted by the University of Udine, the Workshop includes a dedicated session on accounting for Heritage Assets drawing on Italy’s extensive experience in this field and IPSASB’s recent efforts. The session will highlight the importance of accurate recognition, valuation, and reporting of cultural and historical assets within the public sector.
