We are looking to expand the reach of QualRAN to encompass all qualitative accounting and finance researchers (yes, even those in finance). So, if you do qualitative research in auditing, financial accounting, management accounting, accounting education, accounting history, or even finance please consider joining the QualRAN SIG. Also, we welcome all forms of qualitative research - critical, interpretative, constructivist, positivists, you name it, you are welcome in the SIG. Similarly, all methods - observation, interviews, ethnography, netnography, etc. The QualRAN SIG is designed to be a broad church of qualitative researchers all learning from each other.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; mso-line-height-alt: 14px; margin: 0;"> </p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; font-size: 14px; mso-line-height-alt: 17px; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We would also love to hear from AFAANZ members as to what they would like from the QualRAN SIG.

The theme of this workshop will be “Grants, Industry Engagement, and Impact”. The workshop will feature presentations from Professor Wai Fong Chua (University of Sydney), Professor David Smith (RMIT) and Dr Paul Thambar (Monash University). All three have been successful in achieving large grants, engaging with industry, and having impact through their research. Their presentations will be followed by a Q&A session and up to three 3-minute research grant pitches, Dragon Den style, to the three presenters who will provide feedback. If you are interested in doing a pitch please email Ralph (<a href="mailto:ralph.kober@monash.edu)" style="color: #0068A5;">ralph.kober@monash.edu)</a>.

Associate Professor Lukas Goretzki is the new editor of Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management, a journal whose name gives away the fact that it only publishes qualitative research. Professor Robert Knechel is the new editor of The Accounting Review, a North-American journal that is not typically associated with publishing qualitative research. Robert hopes to change this and is keen to increase the diversity of research published within the journal. In order to expand the number of qualitative research papers in The Accounting Review, Chris Chapman has been appointed to the editorial board.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word;

These challenges also raise a host of secondary issues that accountants will need to address in the foreseeable future. This special issue aims to encourage submission of papers on the theme “Accounting in Transition” with emphasis on technology, sustainability and diversity. We expect this special issue to generate new ideas of importance for accounting academic and practitioner discourse that will eventually influence change in how accounting is practised. We welcome submission of empirical research articles, viewpoints, reflections and commentary on topics relating to the theme.
