The ACA Symposium is the signature event of the Institute for Accounting, Controlling and Auditing at the University of St. Gallen (ACA-HSG). It brings together decision-makers, startups, and academics. Through interactive formats, participants gain fresh insights into key topics, trends, and successful solutions in financial leadership. By consciously challenging established patterns, we aim to rethink financial leadership – together with you.

The ACA Symposium starts at 17:00 with an evening event including welcome drinks, impulse talks from research and practice and an interactive exchange!

The conference day starts at 08:00 and offers in-depth sessions addressing governance, IT-related topics, and current regulatory and organizational challenges.

Riscomp GmbH will also be participating this year:
Maxim Chuprunov, CEO of Riscomp GmbH, and Prof. Dr. Dennis Fehrenbacher, Director of ACA-HSG, will host a workshop series on the topic:

IT risk is business risk – and therefore a matter for top management. Regulatory requirements increasingly demand transparency in cybersecurity risk management as an integrated interplay of security, compliance, and assurance.

In this workshop, we will present a practical approach to managing information asset and IT risks and embedding them into Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), supported by real-world case examples and the use of AI.

Join the ACA Symposium 2026 and help shape the future of financial leadership!
