22nd Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies

We are pleased to announce the 22nd Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies will be hosted by the Centre for Research in Accounting, Accountability and Governance (CRAAG) at the Southampton Business School, Southampton University, Southampton on 24 June 2022 from 09:00 to 16;00.

The organising committee of the BAFA – Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies Special Interest Group is pleased to announce its annual workshop to be held at Southampton Business School, Southampton University, on Friday, 24th June 2022. 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 coverage of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to:

Education, training, women in accounting, and the role of professional accounting Bodies

Financial reporting and accounting standards, including international financial accounting standards

Auditing

Corporate governance, executive compensation, risk management and reporting

Management accounting, including taxation, transfer pricing and tax avoidance
