The 2024 Illinois International Accounting Symposium will be held jointly with the 2024 Nanyang Business School Accounting Conference in Singapore. The symposium will be held at the new Gaia Building (https://www.ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/gaia-the-largest-wooden-building-in-asia-launched), a zero-energy building and the largest wooden building in Asia on the Nanyang Technological University campus.
The theme of the conference will broadly be on the interplay between accounting and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance), with an emphasis on sustainability. While there is a preference for papers on ESG, manuscripts in all areas of research in accounting using all methods are welcome. Selection of papers will depend on novelty, quality, and incremental contribution to the accounting literature. Submitted papers must not have been published or submitted elsewhere.
Papers accepted for presentation at the symposium will be published in regular issues of The International Journal of Accounting, subject to satisfactory revisions and receiving a positive review by one reviewer. The symposium will contribute to the cost of travel of one author per paper.
Submit articles to The International Journal of Accounting here, https://www.worldscientific.com/page/tija/submission-guidelines

The PhD Consortium of the Illinois International Accounting Symposium provides a forum for doctoral students to receive inspiration from their peers and discuss their research objectives with senior members of the community in the context of an established international conference.
The PhD Consortium will be held on Monday, June 3, 2024, in the afternoon.
We invite PhD students to submit research papers or short proposals in any topic areas of accounting (e.g., international accounting, empirical capital markets research, financial analysis, corporate governance, financial accounting, managerial accounting, ESG, auditing, taxation, etc.) There is no submission fee.
Up to 25 PhD students will be invited to participate at the Consortium and present their work. An invitation will be based on the quality of the submitted work and the potential for contributing to the literature. Each participating student will have 20 minutes for presentation, discussion, and feedback.
Interested PhD students should upload their information, CV, and paper/proposal through the following online form by March 15, 2024: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/2141159171
