We would like to revive the accountants' round table. This working group is intended to serve as an exchange for all accountants. New legal developments and their implementation within the schools will be discussed. Furthermore, different processes and challenges of the accounting departments of the different international schools will be reviewed.
The round table aims to foster mutual exchange, collaboration, and the continuous professional and personal development of members of the working group across participating schools. The Round Table will serve as a platform to: (a) promote professional and personal exchange among members of different schools, (b) encourage mutual support in educational, organizational, and cultural matters, (c) empower individual members through the sharing of best practices, (d) learn from and with one another in the spirit of global citizenship, (e) build and sustain a reliable network between schools, potentially including participants from partner schools. The LIS motto “Learning to be a Citizen of the World” calls on us to look beyond our immediate environment and to view diversity as a source of enrichment. A Round Table provides the ideal setting: it creates space for open dialogue, reflection, and the exchange of diverse experiences and perspectives. Participants are encouraged to act with courage, take pride in shared accomplishments, and cultivate inclusivity as a guiding principle of daily school life.
