Alhamdulillah, I am most grateful to Allah (the Most Gracious and Most Merciful), for it is because of His infinite blessings that we have the opportunity to come together on the occasion of the International Conference on Information Systems in Accounting and Business (ICISAB) 2023.  First and foremost, I would like to bid a warm welcome to all the distinguished guests, keynote speakers, delegates, and participants of ICISAB 2023.

It is my utmost pleasure to attend the International Conference on Information Systems in Accounting and Business (ICISAB) 2023 which is jointly organised by the Accounting Information Systems Research and Development Institute (AISRED) and the Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz School of Accountancy, Universiti Utara Malaysia (TISSA-UUM). This conference provides a plethora of prospects for both presenters and participants, encompassing a varied range of conference content, extensive networking opportunities, and valuable exposure.

The central theme of the conference is "Reshaping Business with Advancing Innovative Technologies". It underscores the significance of integrating cutting-edge technologies in order to revolutionize and redefine business operations. The contemporary business landscape has witnessed a significant expansion of the scope of accounting and the responsibilities of accountants surpassing their traditional boundaries. The role of accounting and the responsibilities of accountants today have transcended the traditional task of bookkeeping. They are strategic partners, financial analysts, risk managers, and advisors who contribute to the success and sustainability of organizations in an ever-evolving business landscape. Hence, by embracing digital transformation and automation, accountants are able to optimise their processes, increase efficiency, and improve accuracy by leveraging accounting software, data analytics tools, and artificial intelligence. This enables them to focus more on value-added activities such as financial analysis, forecasting, and providing strategic insights.

This year's conference presents a significant opportunity to serve as a crucial platform for preparing researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to tackle future challenges. I strongly believe that it is imperative to embrace the future proactively. The motion emphasizes the importance of embracing innovative solutions, automation, and harnessing the power of emerging technologies to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, and growth. By exploring the possibilities presented by these advancements, the conference aims to provide participants with the requisite knowledge and strategies necessary to effectively navigate and prosper in the digital era.

Since organising a conference, let alone and international one, is a daunting task, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to members of the organising committee for having successfully shown exemplary collaboration in organising this conference. I would also like to extend my utmost gratitude to the keynote speakers, panellists, presenters and sponsors for their willingness to share and contribute to the success of this event.

In closing, I would like to express my wish that ICISAB 2023 succeed in engendering a formidable fraternity of practitioners and academics committed to collaborating on the discovery of new knowledge in the relevant fields. I wish everyone a fruitful and fulfilling conference.

Thank you and Wassalam.
