The 2023 Advances in Accounting Research Conference will be held in Bellingham on October 27-28, 2023. The conference is organized by Advances in Accounting and hosted by Western Washington University. We invite submissions of original papers that address research questions in the areas of financial accounting, managerial accounting, tax, auditing, forensic accounting, ESG reporting, government and not-for-profit accounting, and public policy. We particularly encourage submissions related to timely and emerging themes in accounting, such as the effects of new technology, regulatory changes, and/or uncertainty (e.g., stemming from COVID-19) on firms, auditors, and/or investors.

Papers may use basic or applied research methods including analytical, archival, experimental, survey, or case study. We welcome papers that exploit U.S. and/or non-U.S. reporting and regulatory settings to examine interesting accounting-related questions.

Papers accepted to the conference will be published in Advances in Accounting, subject to authors satisfactorily addressing comments from the reviewers and discussants.

The conference will pay for one nights’ stay in the conference hotel for one presenter for each paper. A best conference paper will be selected and recognized with a $500 award. There will also be a best-discussant award. To submit a paper to the conference, please follow the regular submission procedures for Advances in Accounting that can be found on the journal’s website, and also send an email to Jared Moore at jared.moore@wwu.edu indicating that you would like your paper considered for the conference.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 12, 2023. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by August 5, 2023. Papers that are not accepted for the conference will be processed as regular submissions to the journal. Conference hotel to be announced later.
