LOCATION:Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Risks and Resilience - How Accounting and Finance are Leading the Way - Part 3: Blockchain and Financial Risks\n\n03/26/26 11:00 AM CST\n - 03/26/26 12:11 PM CST\Description:\nThis is Part 3 of 5 in our Emerging Risk and Resilience Series for Accountants and Finance
 The rapid evolution of technology, globalization, and regulatory frameworks has introduced a range of emerging risks that are transforming the fields of accounting, finance, and auditing. Innovations such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics are redefining traditional business models while creating new challenges related to data integrity, cybersecurity, and ethical decision-making.
 In accounting and finance, the growing reliance on automated systems raises concerns about vulnerabilities, algorithmic bias, and the potential for misinformation. Auditors face heightened expectations for real-time assurance, transparency, and adaptability to new reporting standards, including sustainability and ESG disclosures.
 Geopolitical instability, economic volatility, and evolving regulatory pressures add layers of uncertainty to financial reporting and audit quality. This four-part seminar series explores these emerging risks, analyzes their implications for professionals and organizations, and highlights proactive strategies for risk management, continuous learning, and technological competency.
