23rd Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies

We are pleased to announce the 23rd Workshop on Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies will be held on Friday, 9 December 2022.

The organising committee of the BAFA – Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies Special Interest Group (AFEE SIG) is pleased to announce its annual workshop to be held at Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University, Newcastle, on Friday, 9 December 2022. The workshop aims to bring together academics working on accounting and finance issues concerning emerging economies. The workshop aims to raise the level of interest in the specific problems of accounting and finance in emerging economies; and increase awareness of real issues, so that accounting and finance in these countries will not just be seen as a matter of copying what is done in the industrialized countries. It provides an authoritative overview of the research and progress in this field.

BEST PAPER AWARDS

Two Best Paper Awards will be presented under the categories of doctoral and early career researchers whose work represents impactful research in the Emerging Economy Context.
