2021 JIAR Doctoral/New Faculty Consortium

The Eighth International Conference of the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR) will be held June 24-25, 2021, preceded by the JIAR Doctoral/ New Faculty Consortium on June 23, 2021. We are happy to announce our in-person conference will transfer to a virtual setting but 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 work will provide academics, practitioners, and regulators with deeper insights into international accounting issues.
