Call for submissions
for the inaugural DASIG Meeting to be held on Sunday June 30 at Cordis Hotel in Auckland
Submission Deadline: Monday, April 29, 2024
The inaugural Data Analytics Special Interest Group (DASIG) meeting at the 2024 AFAANZ conference is gearing up to be the ultimate hotspot for accounting and finance academics to focus their teaching and research brilliance on the importance of data analytics in accounting and finance by providing participants the opportunity to share and discuss ideas and research findings about how to integrate data and analytics tools into accounting and finance courses, as well as about how data analytics is used in the corporate world.
As such, if you have developed innovative datasets, case studies, game-changing online tools or other resources that are advancing pedagogy in the area of data analytics, either through Excel, Tableau, Alteryx, Power BI, Python or R and would like to share them with your colleagues and gain feedback, we are keen to hear from you. Also, if your research explores the frontiers of data analytics and you may have developed a research paper looking at the use of data analytics either in academia or in the corporate world, investigating data analytics topics such as, but not limited to, the use of large language models, blockchain, machine learning technologies and AI, this meeting is for you to showcase your research.
We are eagerly waiting for your creative and innovative proposals for either:
1) Mini TED talk like-sessions consisting of 15-20 minutes presentations sharing teaching ideas and experiences on integrating data analytics throughout curricula.
2) Mini brown bag like-sessions consisting of 20-30 minutes presentations sharing research ideas and findings related to the use of data analytics in the corporate world and describing the new directions that the accounting or finance profession is taking in the current big data business environment.
Both types of sessions will allow presenters to present and then engage with colleagues to advance knowledge in the area.
Please send your proposals to Dr Sorin Daniliuc (sorin.daniliuc@anu.edu.au) by 11:59 pm AEDT, Monday, April 29, 2024. The proposal should nominate the type of session proposed and include a short description of the session. You will be notified of the outcome in early May. If accepted, you are expected to attend the DASIG meeting and share your expertise with meeting participants.
If you have any questions, please contact Dr Sorin Daniliuc (sorin.daniliuc@anu.edu.au). |

ECR Mentoring Program
After a successful pilot of the ECR Mentoring Program in 2023 offered to women, this year we are excited to extend the program to ECRs (Levels A to C) of all genders. The program will run for five-months, and we invite you to nominate for the program. We will match ECR academics working in institutional member universities with a more senior faculty member to: - reflect on and build academic, personal, and professional skills
- more effectively navigate accounting and finance research, education, and engagement opportunities
- grow their leadership capabilities, and
- identify opportunities to enhance their potential for career progression.
To set you up for success in your mentoring journey, the program commences with a facilitated session for both Mentees and their Mentors at the AFAANZ Conference Mentoring Session on Sunday 2 July at 11:00am to 1:00pm. It is compulsory to attend this session.
In addition to regular meetings with your mentors (virtually/in person depending on location), over the following five months we will also offer some check in sessions with themed panel discussions. The program will conclude with a facilitated session and celebration following the AFAANZ Educators’ Forum, to be held in Melbourne.
If you are interested please register as part of your conference registration and we will be in touch with more information to assist us to match you with an appropriate mentor. |
