Summary/Abstract: A significant increase in the complexity of management has been observed for years. It influences the effectiveness of management, which depends largely on ensuring the flow of appropriate information. The basis for management decision-making is accounting. In the last two decades, the importance of management accounting as an effective information system supporting companies in decision-making has grown. In addition, the concept of controlling came from Germany to Poland in the late 1980s and since the 1990s it has been very popular. To meet the demand for scientific discourse on the connection between controlling and accounting, Financial Accounting and Control Department in the Institute of Accounting of the Wrocław University of Economics, organized the Nationwide Scientific Conference “Accounting and Controlling” in Polanica-Zdroj in 1995. This conference has been held every year since then. The aim of the article is to present the achievements of the 21 editions of the conference “Accounting and Controlling”. With this regard, based on publications from all conferences held, the author of this paper has analyzed discussed issues and statistical data on the activity of individual academic centers in the conference.
