At the assembly, they presented papers on topics relevant to the training of public accountants in Colombia.

Case of the University of Cundinamarca Facatativá Extension”, in which they highlighted the importance of internationalization in higher education and how this strategy has contributed to the training process in the accounting discipline.

For his part, Mateo Bedoya presented the paper “Features of the theoretical-research training of public accounting master's programs and their effects on national academic production”, where he analyzed the theoretical and research training in Colombian public accounting master's programs and proposed proposals to strengthen research training in public accounting in the country.

Finally, Andrés David Serrato Guana presented the paper “Professional Profile of the Public Accountant in Industry 4.0. An Approach from Digital Competencies”, derived from a work of the Bacatá research group of the University of Cundinamarca, where he identified the main digital competencies that contribute to the professional profile of the public accountant in the current context of industry 4.0.

These presentations reflect the commitment of the University of Cundinamarca to the training of quality public accountants and the constant search to improve education in the accounting field in the country.
