Call for Submissions

The Ninth International Conference of the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR) will be held June 23-24, 2022, preceded by the JIAR Doctoral / New Faculty Consortium on June 22, 2022. Although we had hoped to be in person, we are happy to announce that we can meet in a virtual setting that will preserve the key elements of our traditional program.  

The goal of the conference is to expand the diversity and scope of international accounting research, through increased understanding and awareness of the challenges and opportunities of international accounting. Original and rigorous research will provide academics, practitioners, and regulators with deeper insights into international accounting issues.

We welcome innovative and high-quality international accounting research related to all areas (financial, managerial, audit, and tax) and using a variety of research methods. Papers using exclusively U.S. data need to clearly discuss the implications for and relevance to international accounting research. Papers can be submitted for consideration in one of two tracks: Plenary Session submissions or Concurrent Session submissions. We especially encourage submissions from new accounting researcher and doctoral students.

Important Deadlines

Plenary Session Submissions:
Please follow the regular submission procedure for the Journal of International Accounting Research outlined at: https://aaahq.org/Research/Journals/Section-Journal-Home-Pages/Journal-of-International-Accounting-Research. The regular submission fee of $250 will be waived. Accepted Plenary Session papers will be published in the Journal of International Accounting Research conditional on satisfactory responses to reviewer and editor comments. Additionally, for accepted papers, the conference will waive the registration fee for one presenting author. Authors submitting to JIAR in this way should include two statements in their cover letter to the senior editor: (1) that they wish to have the paper considered for the JIAR Conference Plenary Session; (2) whether they would like the paper to be considered for inclusion in a Concurrent Session in the event it is not selected for the Plenary Session. Please contact the senior editor, Steven Lin, at swlin@memphis.edu with any questions about the submission and review process.
 
Concurrent Session Submissions:
Papers submitted to the Concurrent Sessions will be considered for presentation at the JIAR conference, but not for publication in the Journal of International Accounting Research. Submissions for the concurrent sessions only should be made via email to JIARCONFERENCE@gmail.com.  Separate files with the title page and blinded manuscript should be attached.

Doctoral/New Faculty Consortium:
The Doctoral/New Faculty Consortium is to be held in 2 separate sessions: 8:00–11:00 am EST and 7:00 – 10:00 pm EST. Doctoral students and faculty who have graduated in the past 3 years, who are also members of the international accounting section or who are willing to join if selected to the consortium, can apply to attend the doctoral / new faculty consortium by sending Prof. Linda Myers (lmyers16@utk.edu) a curriculum vitae, a brief bio, and a brief statement indicating why they would like to attend the consortium. The brief statement should include: 1) whether they have attended a previous Journal of International Accounting Research doctoral / new faculty consortium and if so, in what year, 2) their main area of accounting research (financial, managerial, audit, taxation), 3) their methodology (archival, analytic, experimental, qualitative), and 4) which session (8–11 am EST or 7 – 10 pm EST) they are applying to attend. 

Consortium participants will enjoy presentations made by senior scholars and participate in breakout discussion groups / networking sessions with these scholars and with one another.  Consortium participants will not be required to present their own research so PhD students and junior faculty at all stages are welcome and encouraged to attend.

There will be no charge to attend the consortium. The deadline for applications to the consortium is March 31, 2022. All applications should include the Subject: Journal of International Accounting Research Doctoral / New Faculty Consortium Application.
