The goal of this conference is to expand the diversity and scope of international accounting research, through increased understanding and awareness of the challenges and opportunities of international accounting. Original and rigorous research will provide academics, practitioners, and regulators with deeper insights into international accounting issues.

 Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR) continues to welcome innovative and high-quality research that examines how accounting data affects capital market participants. Papers that address interesting and innovative research questions in all areas of accounting are welcomed. Papers can be submitted for consideration in one of two tracks: Plenary Session submissions or Concurrent Session submissions. 

Plenary Session Submission:

Please follow the regular submission procedure for JIAR outlined at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/jiar/default2.aspx.

Authors submitting to JIAR in this way should include two statements in their cover letter to the senior editor: (1) that they wish to have the paper considered for the JIAR Conference Plenary Session; and (2) whether they would like the paper to be considered for inclusion in a Concurrent Session in the event it is not selected for the Plenary Session. If the authors are interested in presenting at the concurrent sessions if not selected for the Plenary session, please also submit to [email protected] (see below). The decision on concurrent sessions will be made within one month after the submission deadline. If the papers are accepted to the plenary session in a later date, the paper will be arranged to present at the plenary session. Accepted Plenary Session papers will be published in the Journal of International Accounting Research (conditional on satisfactory responses to reviewers’ comments). The conference will cover airfare and three nights’ hotel for one presenter (up to $1500.00 USD).
