AFAANZ CONFERENCE
It is with great excitement that the AFAANZ Board announce that the 2022 AFAANZ Conference will be an in-person event at Crown Melbourne from July 3 – July 5. However, given there are still travel restrictions for some AFAANZ members, the conference will also have a virtual option for members to view all plenaries, keynotes, panels and concurrent sessions online.
We will also support the Special Interest Groups to run an in-person event with the same virtual options to their members preceding the conference.
More information will be available soon as we work with Crown to create this event, but please know that the 2022 AFAANZ Conference will be in Melbourne and to start planning!
The AFAANZ Board and our sponsors: CA ANZ, CPA and MYOB look forward to catching up and reconnecting!

Notice of the Annual General Meeting of AFAANZ
Dear member,
This is to advise you of the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the members of AFAANZ. The details of this meeting are as follows:
Date: Friday 6th May, 2021 Time: 4.00pm AEST
This meeting will be an online meeting using Zoom. If you wish to attend the meeting or submit a question, please email info@afaanz.org and the link, agenda and reports will be emailed to you.
Commencing in 2023, Accounting & Finance will no longer be published in hard copy form. Instead, the journal will convert to publishing in an on-line format. This is consistent with many other journals that are converting to an on-line format only, including 620 Wiley journals.
Moving online-only reduces the environmental impact of journals, removing the carbon created from paper production, printing, and shipping physical copies. Between 2020 and 2022 alone Wiley have saved 715 tons of CO2 by reducing print across the Wiley portfolio by 650,000 copies.
The journal will continue to be available via the website and via the new Wiley Online Library App. The app, available on iOS and Android, which allows users to download full issues of A & F and read on the go.
However, we know that in some circumstances, readers or contributors may wish to have a print copy for their personal use. As such, Wiley will offer Member Direct Print-on-Demand (MD POD) and Print-on-Demand (POD) services for A & F
Emergency E-Learning: A Study on the effects of the transition to online learning
The current COVID-19 restrictions in place for 2020 and 2021 are being investigated in terms of the changing environment academics were forced into due to stay at home orders, where they entered into emergency e-learning, from home.
The effects of emergency e-learning on academics’ workloads, job satisfaction and motivation, as well as overall wellbeing have yet to be investigated and reported. It is hoped this survey will shed some light on the challenges and opportunities accounting and finance academics faced during lockdown teaching.

Closing date: 15th July, 2022
