The Future of Controlling

The dynamic world of controlling is facing profound changes: New accounting standards like IFRS 18, increasing demands for sustainability reporting (ESG), and rapid advancements in digitalization and automation through AI and RPA require adaptability, technological progress, and innovation. How can demanding implementation processes, constant adaptation to changing laws and the high cost of compliance be managed without sufficient expertise of advanced tools and controlling software? Companies are faced with the challenge of developing effective risk management strategies and continuously training their employees.

The new Controlling Summit is the leading trade fair and conference for digitalization and innovation, focusing on the most current industry topics.

Discuss the transformation of controlling, the skills shortage, and the need for ongoing training for employee development. Top speakers and experts will showcase the latest trends, controlling methods, innovative solutions, and best practices in engaging panels and presentations.

Join us and turn today’s challenges into opportunities for the future.

Secure your ticket for September 16th and 17th 2026 in Düsseldorf and discover innovative controlling!

I was particularly impressed by the Accounting, Controlling & Finance Summit 2025 due to the open and intensive exchange with so many colleagues. The extensive networking opportunities and the dialogue with other experts were especially valuable for gaining new perspectives and learning about best practices first-hand. The presentations offered exciting insights into current trends and innovations. The organization of the event was also excellent: a pleasant atmosphere was created in which you could feel completely comfortable. I can recommend the event to anyone looking for valuable knowledge transfer and genuine networking within the finance and accounting community.

The trade fair offered a wealth of information and insights into current trends in the finance sector. It was extremely helpful to identify potential areas for future action at an early stage while also finding solutions to current day-to-day challenges.

A particular highlight was the opportunity to exchange ideas with other participants facing similar challenges. Sharing experiences and best practices was highly valuable and helped open up new perspectives.

From start-ups to large corporates, companies of all sizes were represented, providing a broad range of viewpoints and orientation.

I am already looking forward to future editions of the event.
