25th Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies

The workshop aims to bring together academics working on accounting and finance issues concerning emerging economies.
The workshop aims to raise the level of interest in the specific problems of accounting and finance in emerging economies; and increase awareness of real issues, so that accounting and finance in these countries will not just be seen as a matter of copying what is done in the industrialised countries. It provides an authoritative overview of the research and progress in this field.

The workshop covers a broad range of topics in accounting and finance, including but not limited to:

– Professional Development & Context: Education, training, diversity (women in accounting), and the role of professional bodies.

– Standards & Regulation: Financial reporting, IFRS, auditing, regulation, and privatization.

– Governance & Management: Corporate governance, executive compensation, risk management, taxation, and management accounting.

– Banking & Behavioral Finance: Finance and banking issues, including behavioral accounting.

– Socio-Economic & Cultural Impacts: The impact of culture, religion, ethnicity, history, and structural adjustment programs on accounting practices.

– Public & Specialized Sectors: Public sector reforms (NPM), family businesses, socio-economic development, and regional transition.

– Sustainability & Accountability: Social, environmental, and climate risk management.

Two Best Paper Awards will be presented under the categories of doctoral and early career researchers whose work represents impactful research in the Emerging Economy Context.

Best Paper Award for the work that presents impactful research in regional transition.
