The accounting profession faces several challenges in this globalization era. Will it be able to adapt and seize the opportunities that it encounters? Will research in accounting be able to support the profession through these endeavours?
 
The 2012 annual conference of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA) will provide an ideal forum to explore the various dimensions of this issue.
