21st Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies

We are pleased to announce the 21st Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies will be held online on Friday, 3 December 2021.

The free online 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 industrialized countries. It provides an authoritative overview of the research and progress in this field.

SPEAKERS

 Professor Charles Cho (Schulich School of Business) on “(Sustainability) Accounting Research in the African Context: Where, What and Whither?”

 Professor Khlif Wafa (Toulouse Business School) on “Transparency in corporate governance: supporting the shareholder primacy”
