This year the symposium will engage you with the theme ‘Accounting Education and Culture’.

- How has Covid impacted classroom and learning culture, and what does the future look like?
- How do the accounting profession and industry influence classroom culture and curriculum content?
-
What is the culture of the accounting profession? Who fits in? How does this affect teaching and assessment?
- What is the impact of cancel culture on accounting education?
We look forward to meeting again for the AFAANZ SIG symposium in person. Please note that all presenters are expected to attend in person. However, to make the event accessible to those unable to attend, we are exploring the possibility of offering some of the symposium sessions online.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sustainability accounting: Opportunities and Challenges for public, non-governmental and hybrid sector organisations
Special issue call for papers from Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting, and Financial Management What is this special issue about?
The adoption of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in 2015 has been a well-received and globally accepted iteration of the sustainable development agenda (Abhayawansa et al., 2021; Adams et al., 2020; Bebbington and Unerman, 2018). With 17 holistic goals and 169 targets, the SDG agenda aspires to stimulate action in areas that are of critical importance for humanity and the planet including hunger, poverty, inequality, health and well-being, clean energy and quality education (United Nations, 2015). Given the critical importance of SDGs, this initiative has drawn considerable attention in the policy debate and research. A number of conceptual studies have set the agenda and directions for advancing and achieving SDGs and the role of accounting and finance therein. However, little is known about how organisations, especially in the public, non-governmental and hybrid sectors are addressing and implementing the SDG goals and targets, and account for sustainability performance
