    New York, New York English

    As businesses grapple with uncertainties and navigate the complexities of digital transformations, sustainability and climate transitions, organizational leaders equipped with the unique skill set of professional accountants in business (PAIBs) are essential. PAIBs’ roles more commonly extend beyond traditional financial responsibilities, positioning them as key leaders shaping the trajectory of organizational success.

"By driving decision-useful sustainability information, harnessing disruptive technologies like AI and IA and nurturing a new generation of accountants who can confidently step into leadership roles, professional accountants can seize the uncertainty of the current environment to elevate the profession and society at large.”
