British Accounting and Finance Association Issues Policy on Participation of Russian and Belarusian Members

We at the British Accounting and Finance Association continue to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. We condemn Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine and the ongoing conflict, and we lament its tragic consequences. As our colleagues at the British Academy, the British Academy of Management and other learned bodies have done, we send our support and friendship to our academic colleagues and their students in Ukraine, whose human rights, democracy and freedom have been violated by Russia’s military action. We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to peace.

The British Accounting and Finance Association will continue to champion academic freedom and we acknowledge the courage shown by those students, academics and others in Russia and Belarusia who have spoken out against this invasion. We continue to support our members in the region in these testing times and, to this end, have issued a policy statement on the participation of Russian and Belarusian colleagues in BAFA’s events.
