About the Journal of Financial Reporting Our Mission Journal of Financial Reporting publishes research on all aspects of financial reporting, regardless of method. In addition to publishing papers addressing traditional financial reporting topics with traditional methods, we seek to publish papers that Expand the boundaries of financial reporting research; Apply financial reporting theory to non-financial domains; and/or Extend the methodological tools used to address financial reporting questions. We also seek to advance editorial practices that: Encourage investment in data gathering, analysis and reporting; Foster reliable and transparent reporting of methods and findings; and Allow authors a free hand in pursuing their scholarly goals, with minimal worry that innovations will be rejected on matters of taste. Our Strategy Journal of Financial Reporting seeks to publish papers that are of interest to members of the Financial Accoutning and Reporting Section of the American Accounting Association. We serve our members through a variety of innovative strategies. In our editorial processes: We define financial reporting as broadly as possible, and especially value research that expands its boundaries and application to other domains. We value all quantitative and qualitative methods, including (but not limited to) all forms of data gathering, historical analysis, mathematical modeling, and simulation. We acknowledge that excellence often comes from sacrificing one dimension of quality for another, so authors don't feel the need to cut corners on the aspects of their work that are most central to its contribution, or overclaim in the aspects they were wise to sacrifice. We allow for reasonable disagreement in matters of commentary, so that authors know that their investments in data gathering and analysis won't be undermined by matters of tast or opinion. We often pair requests for additional data gathering and/or anlaysis with promises that publication will not depend on findings, to encourage investments in substance and responsible research practices. We also solicit proposals for manuscripts, through open-ended calls and deadline-driven conferences. Manuscript submissions based on accepted proposals are evaluated on how well authors lived up to their promises. We especially encourage proposals for commentaries, literature reviews, re-examinations of prior work, and 'thought pieces,' as well as empirical studies. President's Letter Kristi Rennekamp 2023-2024 FARS Section President Dear FARS Members and Visitors, The Financial Accounting and Reporting Section was created in 1993 with 49 members as a provisional section of the AAA. The section has since grown to around 1,500 members from around the world! As we head into our 30th year, this is truly an exciting time to be involved with FARS. In just the past few years, the section has launched initiatives with a focus on (1) integrating research and practice, (2) mentoring junior faculty, and (3) prioritizing diversity and inclusion. This year we will continue these initiatives and look for ways to expand them further in order to best serve our section members. The mission of FARS is enduring, and calls for us “to give greater attention to financial accounting and reporting, and to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of education, research, and professional practice by: (1) disseminating and evaluating teaching methods and materials; (2) encouraging, facilitating, and publicizing research interests and projects; and (3) creating opportunities for interchange and cooperation between academics and practitioners.” Continue Reading Journal The Journal of Financial Reporting (JFR) is the academic journal of the Financial Accounting and Reporting Section of the American Accounting Association.
