Looking ahead: Twelfth Accounting History Symposium in Brisbane - Queensland

The Accounting History Special Interest Group (AHSIG – SIG2) is pleased to announce that the twelfth Accounting History Symposium will be held on Saturday, 6 July 2019, in Brisbane, Queensland, immediately preceding the 2019 AFAANZ Annual Conference. The Symposium will take place at the AFAANZ Conference venue in Brisbane. We look forward to seeing AHSIG members and welcoming non-members to this event.

Research proposals, papers in progress and working papers concerning studies of accounting’s past are welcome to be submitted. On the day, a panel of scholars will be in attendance, making presentations and/or providing feedback on the research and presentations of symposium participants. A call for working papers and research proposals will be communicated in March 2019, as well as details of the panel members. The final date for submission of papers and research proposals to the twelfth Accounting History Symposium is expected to be the beginning of May 2019.

We are confident that the 2019 Symposium will enjoy the same level of success as the past ten symposia.
