He delivered an oration entitled <em>The End of the Accountant: Fiction or Reality?\u00a0<\/em>The inauguration was held on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at Garuda Mukti Hall, UNAIR.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMany growing businesses only need less than one million rupiahs to subscribe to end\u00a0-to-end\u00a0financial applications.\u00a0Instead of recruiting accountants who expect UMR salary every month,\u201d said the Professor of Sustainable Accounting and Governance.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Role of accountants in sustainability movement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>However, according to him, the need for accountants is not only to make financial reports but more than that. The trending sustainability issues are an excellent opportunity for an accountant. If you look further, accountants play many roles, and their profession are involved in the sustainability movement.<\/p>\n\n<p>Prof. Iman said that one of the international accounting reporting standard organizations, the IFRS Foundation, is currently developing International Sustainability Standard Board\u00a0which consolidates corporate sustainability reporting standards.\u00a0He continued that in the context of sustainability, the accountant\u2019s job is as a regulator to develop a standard and an auditor that examines and ensures a company\u2019s sustainability principles.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis role makes accountants a \u2018receptacle\u2019 for technical expertise from other professions in supporting global sustainability,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n<p>Indonesia\u2019s sustainability literacy, which is still very likely to be developed, is a golden opportunity for accountants to take advantage of. As evidenced by the list of the most sustainable companies in the world that 5 ESG raters have developed, there is not a single Indonesian company. Moreover, of the 523 companies that publish sustainability reports, only 47 percent have a clear sustainability framework.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe company\u2019s sustainability managers, even though they do not have an accounting education background, apply accounting principles in monitoring the progress of social-environmental initiatives,\u201d said the professor with 83 Scopus-indexed publication documents.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>The need for curriculum transformation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p>Iman also conveyed that accounting intersects sustainability. Accountants are known for their involvement in the process of auditing financial information. This trend also leads to an era where accountants provide insurance on corporate sustainability information. Accountants are also known to be at the forefront of sustainability initiatives aimed at ultimately cost efficiency.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cRealizing this, accounting academics must take a crucial role. That is changing our accounting curriculum from a very technical one to a more strategic one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Transformation of the accounting curriculum in tertiary institutions is essential. According to Prof. Iman, only 13 percent of courses in Accounting undergraduate programs are strategic. Universities have an important role in preparing the fundamental pillars of everything taught to enable students to solve real-world problems.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSustainability is multi-disciplinary. Thus, accountants need to understand other scientific fields strategically. Accountants in the future must understand sustainability, from ESG to SDG,\u201d he said.
