The goal of this conference is to expand the diversity and scope of international accounting research, through increased understanding and awareness of the challenges and opportunities in international accounting. Original and rigorous research will provide academics, practitioners, and regulators with deeper insights into international accounting issues. Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR) continues to welcome innovative and high-quality research that examines how accounting data affects capital market participants. Papers that address interesting and innovative research questions in all areas are welcomed. Papers can be submitted for consideration in one of two tracks: Plenary Session submissions or Concurrent Session submissions.
Track 1 – Plenary Session submission. Please follow the regular submission procedure for JIAR outlined at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jiar/default2.aspx. Authors submitting to JIAR in this way should include two statements in their cover letter to the senior editor: (1) that they wish to have the paper considered for the JIAR Conference Plenary Session; and (2) whether they would like the paper to be considered for inclusion in a Concurrent Session in the event it is not selected for the Plenary Session. If the authors are interested in presenting at the concurrent sessions if not selected for the Plenary session, please also submit to https://form.jotform.com/261725495615264. Accepted Plenary Session papers will be published in the Journal of International Accounting Research (conditional on satisfactory responses to reviewers’ comments).
Track 2 – Concurrent Session submission. Papers submitted to the Concurrent Sessions may be written in English or French and will be considered for presentation at the conference, but not for publication in the Journal of International Accounting Research. Submissions should be made at https://form.jotform.com/261725495615264. Please send a separate title page, listing all authors, and a blind version of the manuscript. There will be a best paper award (including a track for PhD students’ papers) for the papers presented in the concurrent sessions.
The conference will cover airfare and three nights’ hotel for one presenter (up to $1,500 USD).
