Sustainable finance and managing climate risk are becoming two of the most important issues facing investors and financial regulators. The financial risks and opportunities associated with climate change are particularly acute in Australasia. The aim of the workshop is to encourage community building among researchers interested in sustainable finance in Australasia. The focus of the research need not necessarily be on Australasia though (global studies and those focusing on other regions are welcome). Preference will be given to ECRs. We take a broad definition of sustainable finance-related topics (see list of topics below) and we welcome submission from a range of methodological approaches (empirical analyses, theoretical, macroeconomic/monetary-environment models, case studies, policy analyses etc.). </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"> <strong>Paper Submission</strong>: Submit full papers by Monday 5th of June 2023 to <a href="mailto:i.diaz-rainey@griffith.edu.au" target="_blank" title="i.diaz-rainey@griffith.edu.au" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0068A5;" rel="noopener">i.diaz-rainey@griffith.edu.au</a> putting ‘AFAANZ Sustainable Finance SIG Workshop – Paper Submission’ in the subject line.</p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><strong> </strong></p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><strong>Notification:</strong> Accepted papers will be notified on Monday 12th of June 2023.</p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><strong>Indicative Topics:</strong> Paper topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:</p><ul style="line-height:1.2;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><li>Transition risk in equities, bond, derivative and sovereign markets</li><li> Physical risk such as sea level rise, extreme temperatures, drought and wild fires</li><li>Climate and environmental accounting</li><li>Climate disclosures – accounting standards, TFCD implementation, taxonomies</li><li>Liability risk – insurance claims and litigation associated with climate change</li><li>Carbon markets and carbon taxes</li><li>ESG investing</li><li>Green bonds and impact investing</li><li>Green public finance and guarantees (incl. green investment banks and funds)</li><li> Financial innovation to meet financing gaps (e.g. securitising green loans)</li><li>Monetary policy and climate change</li></ul><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><strong>Scientific committee<br /></strong></p><ul style="line-height:1.2;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"><li><strong>Ivan Diaz-Rainey, </strong>Workshop Chair<strong> </strong>(Griffith University)</li><li><strong>Joey Yang</strong>, Finance SIG Chair (UWA)</li><li> <strong>Henk Berkman </strong>(University of Auckland)</li><li><strong>Robert Bianchi </strong>(Griffith University)</li><li><strong>Martina Linnenluecke</strong> (UTS)</li><li><strong>Tom Smith </strong>(Macquarie University)</li><li><strong>Muhammad Nadeem </strong>(University of Queensland)</li><li><strong>Dan Daugaard</strong> (University of Tasmania)</li><li><strong>Shireenjit Johl</strong> (Griffith University)</li><li><strong>Helen Roberts</strong> (University of Otago)</li></ul></div> </div></td></tr></table><table class="divider_block block-2" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="divider_inner" style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:1px solid #bbb"><span> </span></td></tr> </table></div></td></tr></table><table class="text_block block-3" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div class style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px;color:#555;line-height:1.2"><p style="margin:0;text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> <span style="color:#0300ff;font-size:16px;"><strong>Management Accounting SIG Annual Forum</strong></span></p><p style="margin:0;text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"> The MA SIG will host its annual forum on Saturday 1 July from 6 p.m. at The Star Gold Coast.

While Australia is a significant contributor to the work of the OECD, it arguably also maintains its status as a leader of tax policy through domestic policy initiatives. Most recently, the ‘Multinational Tax Integrity Package – improved tax transparency’ proposed in the 2022-23 budget, seeks to impose public country by country reporting on significant global entities and was applauded worldwide by transparency advocates as a call to action for other jurisdictions (FACT coalition, 2022). Similarly, other introduced and proposed legislation focuses on changes to interest limitation rules (thin capitalisation), digital currency, deductions for intangibles, off-market share buybacks, electric car discounts, deductible gift recipients, and compliance to enhance tax system integrity through the Tax Practitioners Board. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:19.2px"> The 2023 AFAANZ Tax SIG, followed by a special issue of <em>Australian Tax Review</em>, an ‘A’ ranked journal on the ABDC list, comprising papers from the SIGs inaugural meeting, aims to showcase these improvements.
