Investigations may include, but are not limited to, historical studies of
Public accounting, with particular reference to the evolution of methodologies, contents, rules and forms of control.

Naples is a city that needs no introduction as it is well known for its beautiful landscapes, rich history, art, culture, architecture, music and gastronomy. These have all played an important role in the country’s history, which began more than 2,800 years ago. Founded in the eighth century BC, as a Greek colony, under the name of Parthenope, and later Neapolis (New City), Naples is one of the oldest cities in the world. Naples has a long history of hosting a number of civilisations from foreign dominations, which have all had an impact on the development of the city as known today. The Conference venue is located in the historic city center that is listed by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site.
