Mind the GA(A)P: CAAA Annual Conference 2019

Registration for the Annual Conference will open on March 6, 2019.

 There is a longstanding dialogue regarding the gap between the accounting profession and academia. Questions have been raised about the applicability of accounting research and education to current professional practices. It is more important now than ever before to bridge this gap. The accounting profession and society itself is on the precipice of major disruptions driven by shifts in technology, demographics, the environment, societal expectations and the geopolitical economy. 

 Are the gaps too wide? How do we bridge them?

The 2019 CAAA conference will focus on bridging these gaps by examining current accounting research, education of future accountants, practitioners’ expectations, and the nature of communication between these groups, and society as a whole.
