SUBMISSIONS
Research Papers and Panel Proposals
You are invited to submit your research papers addressing international accounting research topics for the 2026 International Accounting Section Midyear Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio at the University of Cincinnati on January 8-10, 2026. We also encourage you to volunteer to serve as a reviewer, discussant, and/or a moderator.
Practitioners and academics renowned worldwide will serve as our luncheon and plenary featured speakers. We also offer plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues, providing a warm and hospitable community to our members and guests.
We welcome papers on a wide variety of topics and methodologies, including:
• Financial reporting and disclosure in global contexts
• Investigations of international and national standards and institutional settings
• The impact of accounting standards and regulatory changes
• International auditing and assurance issues
• Management and control issues in global environments
• Other topics related to international accounting
• Sustainability and ESG reporting practices
• The use of textual analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics in accounting research
• Tax policy and practice across jurisdictions
• Education research and instructional case studies
• Single-country studies (including those focused on the U.S.) that address emerging issues, utilize novel data sources or methodologies, or offer insights relevant to standard setters, regulators, and international businesses.
We also welcome proposals for panel sessions. For panel proposals, please describe the rationale and importance of the topic in a page or so, indicate the planned panelists, and whether you need any help from the International Accounting Section to contact the panelists. Unless otherwise stated, it will be assumed that the person submitting the panel proposal would be willing to moderate the panel. The deadline for submissions for both research papers and panel proposals is Monday , September 1, 2025, 11:59 EDT. Extended to Sunday, September 7, 2025 11:59 EDT
NOTE: All authors will be considered part of the pool of potential reviewers. To help us assign a paper consistent with your interests, we also ask that you complete the reviewer volunteer form while you are already logged in to the submission system. At that time, you can also volunteer to be a discussant and/or moderator. Please ask your co-authors to complete the reviewer volunteer form as well.
