Editor of European Accounting Review
The term of the co-Editors of European Accounting Review, Matis Laine and Amir Amel-Zadeh, runs through December 2027. It is the intent of the EAA Publications Committee to have the next Editor(s) appointed by early 2027 to allow sufficient time for the transition.

The new Editor is expected to guarantee the top quality of the journal as well as to play an active role in promoting its international visibility, including the use of social media.
As articulated in the journal’s aims and scope, European Accounting Review is an international scholarly journal of the European Accounting Association (EAA). Devoted to the advancement of accounting knowledge, EAR provides a forum for the publication of high-quality accounting research manuscripts. The journal is proud of its European origins and the diversity of the European accounting research community. Conscious of these origins, European Accounting Review emphasizes openness and flexibility, not only regarding the substantive issues of accounting research, but also with respect to paradigms, methodologies and styles of conducting that research. European Accounting Review is global in scope and welcomes submissions relating to any country or region as long as their relevance to an international audience is clearly communicated.
Specific qualifications for the editor of European Accounting Review include:

Publications Committee
The EAA is seeking replacements for Professor Hui Chen and Martin Messner whose second non-renewable membership term on the EAA Publications Committee is due to end shortly after the EAA 2027 Congress.
The main responsibilities of the EAA Publications Committee include advising on the appointment editors and editorial teams to European Accounting Review and Accounting in Europe, as well as overseeing the EAA’s broader publications strategy. Further details of EAA Publications Committee membership and its role are available here. The workload for Publications Committee members is not onerous. The main activities comprise one meeting per year at the time of the EAA congress, plus ad hoc meetings and panel interviews where necessary. The majority of business is conducted by email.
In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Please send your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.diyarov@eaa-online.be) by 15 January 2027. The EAA is a diverse community of accounting scholars and we are keen that this diversity is reflected in Publications Committee membership. We are particularly keen to receive applications from women, minorities, and scholars with personal and scholarly profiles which can further increase the diversity of the Publications Committee.
Applications should include:
Following a review of the applications, the Publications Committee will make a recommendation to the EAA Management Committee which is the body responsible for confirming appointments. Please do not hesitate to direct any questions you have on the role to Professor Paul Andre (paul.andre@bristol.ac.uk)
Public Sector Accounting Committee
The EAA Public Sector Accounting Committee (PSAC) aims at strengthening the outreach role played by the association and its contribution to regulation and standard setting in the public sector.
The main objectives of the PSAC are: (a) to facilitate and promote public sector accounting research; (b) to participate in public consultation processes that are relevant to public sector accounting and public sector accounting standard setting (e.g. IPSASB Exposure Drafts); (c) to network with other public sector accounting research groups and communities; (d) to plan and organize online activities for discussing timely topics and stimulating the debate between academics and practitioners.
The PSAC is composed by a Chair and 4 Members. In line with the EAA governance guidelines, the Chair and the Members are appointed for a 3-year term, renewable once. The Committee would be able to develop, on an ad hoc basis, “Task groups” to perform specific tasks that are definite in scope and time span. These “Task groups” would include EAA member volunteers willing to work on specific projects. The management and overview of the “Task groups” will be the responsibility of the Chair and designated Committee members.
The EAA Management Committee is seeking a new member. A new Chair of the Public Sector Accounting Committee as successor of Sandra Cohen, will be chosen from the PSAC members once the new member is appointed. New applicants can nominate themselves for the Chair position.
The ideal candidates are scholars with a rich track record in public sector accounting research as evidenced by relevant publications in prestigious outlets, involvement in public sector academic groups and networks, knowledge of the public sector accounting standard setting process and willingness to promote the goals of the Committee. Proven leadership and network skills are particularly valued for the role of Chair. A suitable candidate is also expected to work collegially with other EAA committees. All members of the Committee should be current EAA members.
Please, submit your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.dyarov@eaa-online.be) including (1) your updated CV (2) a motivation letter why you consider yourself qualified for the position.
The deadline to submit your application is January 15, 2027. In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Following a review of the applications, the EAA Management Committee will first appoint the Chair and then – in collaboration with the latter – select and appoint the members of the committee.
