Submissions are now open for the inaugural Accounting Forum Conference, December 11-13, 2024,
which will be hosted by the University of South Australia (UniSA) Centre for Markets Values and
Inclusion. We welcome papers from accounting (and non-accounting) academics from all geographic
areas.

Accounting Forum publishes authoritative yet accessible articles which advance our knowledge of theory
and practice in all areas of accounting and related subjects, and welcomes papers with an interdisciplinary approach in these areas. Through this inaugural conference, we aim to promote greater
understanding of the role of business and accounting in the global environment, and provide a forum for
the intellectual exchange of academic research covering a range of topical issues and contemporary
developments in accounting and accounting-related fields.

In line with Accounting Forum’s vision, the theme of this conference is to bring together researchers in
accounting and related areas from varying viewpoints, approaches and paradigms; provide a forum for
ways we might bridge the gaps in our understanding; and broaden the scope of discussions beyond our
own research groups. As such, papers addressing any interesting accounting-related research question,
using appropriate research methodologies and research paradigms, are welcomed. Innovative approaches are encouraged.

Attendees will include academics, practitioners and PhD students at all levels of experience, and involved with all aspects of theory and practice in accounting and related disciplines. The conference will be open to submissions from across the broad spectrum of accounting research and will also offer a Special Themed Track which will be the subject of a Special Issue of the journal.

Keynote Speaker
We are delighted to announce that our inaugural plenary keynote speaker will be Dr. Olayinka (Yinka)
