2006 AFAANZ Conference

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

2-4 July 2006
Wellington, New Zealand


Papers are invited for the 2006 AFAANZ Conference to be held in Wellington, New Zealand.

The conference is very broad in its scope and we intend to include concurrent sessions in finance, financial reporting, international accounting, auditing and governance, management accounting, public sector accounting, environmental reporting, accounting information systems, tax and accounting education. We would like to be able to include sessions embracing critical perspectives, qualitative methodologies and interdisciplinary research and we particularly encourage researchers in these areas to consider submitting papers. We would also like to encourage young researchers and those who are not members of AFAANZ to consider submitting a paper so that they can experience the benefits of attending the conference.

The advantages of presenting a paper include feedback from the audience, and usually from a discussant. There will also be a prize for the best paper in each topic stream. Advantages of attending the conference include the opportunity to network with colleagues including many leading researchers in the accounting and finance disciplines as well as developing research ideas from the many other papers presented.

Papers should conform to the style and format of Accounting & Finance, the journal of AFAANZ.

Independent reviewers will consider all submitted papers.

All papers are to be submitted via an email attachment file. Papers submitted in hard copy form will not be accepted. Your submission should contain the following:
