2012 CAR Conference Call for papers

Holding the 27th Annual Contemporary Accounting Research Conference in Canada's national capital, Ottawa, raises the question: "Does accounting matter?". Hence, we call for papers that demonstrate clearly a link to why Accounting Matters/La pertinence de la comptabilité (or indeed show where it does not matter) and for whom it matters. Submissions must arrive at the CAR office no later than April 25, 2012.  Please click here for submission guidelines. 

Special Issue of Accounting Perspectives on the Proposed Merger of the Accounting Profession in Canada

In a Special Issue of Accounting Perspectives (11-2, Summer 2012), the journal seeks to provide renewed perspectives on the merger proposal and its implications.

The applied research papers in the Special Issue will hopefully stimulate interest in this important public policy issue and help fulfill the journal's ongoing mandate to provide a bridge between practice and academics. This Special Issue serves as a contribution by the Canadian Academic Accounting Association to the profession and to the public.

Access pre-publication versions of the articles from the Special Issue page.
