WELCOME
The AFAANZ mission is to promote and maintain excellence in the fields of pedagogy, practice, and policy in accounting, finance, and other related subjects through the development of teaching and research in Australia and New Zealand. The 2027 conference is an opportunity to advance this mission and to showcase the skills and contributions of our diverse membership.
AFAANZ 2027 Conference
AFAANZ is devoted to a broad spectrum of accounting and finance research, and we welcome innovative research approaches as well as those that are well established.

Best paper awards and outstanding reviewer awards will also be presented at the 2027 Conference. AFAANZ encourages new and developing researchers to attend the conference.
AFAANZ 2027 will be held face-to-face at the Amora Hotel in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia from Sunday 4 July to Tuesday 6 July 2027.
The two plenary speakers at the Conference will be:

Guidelines for Submission
Papers can now be submitted at https://www.openconf.org/afaanz2027/openconf.php
Papers will only be considered if at least one author is an individual member of AFAANZ, with members enjoying a reduced registration fee for the conference. To become a member of AFAANZ, please go to https://www.afaanz.org/membership.
All submitted papers will undergo a blind review process conducted by the Technical Committee. To maintain the integrity of this process, please ensure that your submission contains no identifying information. This includes your name, address, email, acknowledgments, or any expressions of gratitude. The first page of your manuscript should only include the paper's title, abstract, and keywords. Any additional information typically found on a cover page must be entered during the online submission process.
While there is no required manuscript format or page limit, full working papers are expected as submissions.
If your paper is accepted for a session with discussant, it is expected that you will be a discussant for another paper.
Submission Date
Papers must be submitted by Friday, 5 February 2027, 5pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Late submissions will NOT be accepted.
Notification
Email notification of the outcome and review feedback of submissions is expected to be sent to the submitting author in April 2027.
