Journal Aims and Scope

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. The journal provides a forum for the intellectual exchange of academic research covering a range of topical issues and contemporary developments in accounting and accounting-related subjects. Accounting Forum welcomes papers that use both qualitative and quantitative methods and provide a clear theoretical contribution beyond the boundaries of the specific context. Our main areas of interest are: accountability; accounting education; accounting information systems; accounting theory; auditing; ethics; financial accounting; governance; management accounting; social and environmental accounting; and taxation. Of equal interest to practitioners, academics, and students, each issue of the journal includes peer-reviewed articles, research notes and a comments section.

Bi-Annual Conferences

Accounting Forum aims to hold a conference every two years. Recognising the international nature of the journal and its editors, and to facilitate attendance from all around the globe, conferences will be held in different locations, including Australia, Europe, North America and Asia.

In line with Accounting Forum’s vision, the aim of the Accounting Forum Conferences 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.
