SIG ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2016

The BAFA Accounting Education SIG Annual Conference is designed to provide:

• a setting for discussions of research into innovations in accounting education amongst a range of other topics in the area of accounting education;
• a forum for presenting emerging and full papers;
• workshops at which researchers can develop ideas for research projects or discuss current work and ideas;
• opportunities for accounting educators to identify partners (or institutions) for collaborative research;
• a network of continuing support amongst attendees.

Emerging papers will describe either the initial stages of a project or the initial analysis of findings. Full papers will describe completed projects. Discussant’s comments will be provided on full papers.
