AFAANZ Conference

 

3-5 July 2022

 

Call for Papers

 

AFAANZ is devoted to a broad spectrum of accounting and finance research and we welcome innovative research approaches as well as those that are well established. Papers are invited in the broad areas of accounting, finance, auditing, corporate governance, accounting information systems, accounting education, ethics, corporate social responsibility, tax and related fields. There are best paper prizes in all categories and outstanding reviewer awards. All papers at this year’s conference will be subject to blind peer review. AFAANZ encourages new and developing researchers to attend the conference. This year we will again extend a discount to first time AFAANZ conference attendees and full-time higher degree research students.

 

AFAANZ is currently finalising the conference format (face-to-face, online or a hybrid of these approaches), but if it is held face-to-face or in hybrid form, it will be held in the Crown, Melbourne. The two plenary speakers at the conference will be:

• Professor Wai Fong Chua, Professor of Accounting, The University of Sydney
• Professor Stephen Penman, George O. May Professor of Financial Accounting, Columbia Business School (Yuji Ijiri memorial lecture)

Special issue

This year, the Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money (JIFMIM) will hold concurrent sessions at the conference and papers can be later submitted to their special issue, addressing the topics of Environmental Social and Governance, Green Finance and Investment, Corporate Governance, Exchange Rates and Asset Prices. The papers eligible for consideration at JIFMIM must have a clear international dimension and ideally test economic theory in an international setting. Note that JIFMIM no longer publishes papers on US markets or other single country studies, which take a domestic focus, or papers that investigate commodity, herding, and housing market impacts and interactions. Similarly, for the purposes of this special issue, papers on cryptocurrencies will not be considered.

AFAANZ Doctoral Symposium Program

 

AFAANZ is proud of its tradition in holding its annual Doctoral Symposium for those undertaking their PhD studies.  This year's Doctoral Symposium is being held from 29 June to 1 July prior to the conference in Melbourne.  All details and nomination forms have be sent to the Heads of Institutional Members of AFAANZ.  The due date to nominate a student to attend the Symposium is Friday, 25 February 2022.

Climate change is increasingly recognised as a major source of risk to businesses and the economies in which they operate. In turn, the investment community needs information about how corporations anticipate and respond to climate change risk.

 

Internationally, policymakers have responded with the recent establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board by the IFRS Foundation. In New Zealand, the XRB is developing disclosure standards in response to the Government’s plan to implement mandatory reporting on climate risks, while in Australia, the AASB has issued a proposed climate change standards framework for discussion.

 

The purpose of this Insight Session is to inform and stimulate discussion on the developments in the regulation, preparation and use of disclosures about the management of financial risk of climate change. This insights session provides you with the opportunity to hear from experts engaged in climate change risk reporting, through policymaking, the preparation and use of climate change disclosures, and research.

 

The insight session will feature a keynote address by Professor Naomi Soderstrom, University of Melbourne, and two panel sessions:

•          Policymakers’ perspectives on the challenges of reporting on climate change risk
•          Users’ and Preparers’ perspectives on disclosures on climate change risk
