CReCER 2023 Regional Conference: Sustainability Reporting and Leveraging Technology for Regional Economic Development

The 11th CReCER Regional Conference of Transparency and Accountability for Regional Economic Growth will take place in the Hilton Morumbi Hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil on May 9-10, 2023.

CReCER [1] is a regional flagship knowledge and learning initiative held every two years, which has a strong reputation for promoting transparency and accountability. This knowledge platform facilitates dialogue, debate, and dissemination of global best practices in accounting, fiscal and financial reporting and auditing, in support of economic policy-making and institutional strengthening in Latin America and the Caribbean region.

The main objective of this year’s conference – Sustainability Reporting and Leveraging Technology for Regional Economic Development – is to promote dialogue on two fronts: i) how high-quality and decision-useful financial and sustainability reporting, both in the public and private sector can support the sustainable development agenda; and ii) the use of technology to improve core government systems, including those for greater transparency and accountability. The conference aims at promoting dialogue on policies, strategies and institutional arrangements that are needed for tackling the challenges for improving transparency and accountability of the private and public sector and promoting regional growth.

The conference will convene global and regional experts drawn from high-level government officials and policymakers, the private sector, representatives of multilateral financial institutions, regulators, standards setters, governance practitioners, and academia. It will showcase the progress made during the last years in the use of technology for key government functions and service delivery, as well as examples of how sustainability reporting could provide investors and markets with reliable and comparable information on aspects such as climate change financial related risks.

The Conference is organized jointly by the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), and Global Public Policy Committee (GPPC[2]) of the largest audit firms’ network.
