Papers are encouraged on all aspects of the study of accounting regulation and standardization, including developments in theory, empirical studies and policy-oriented analyses. Papers that address issues of compliance, audit oversight and enforcement will be welcomed, together with other relevant topics such as accounting in regulated industries, the effects of regulation and deregulation on financial disclosure behaviour, the implications for corporate governance, and the consequences of accounting regulation for markets and institutions.

Papers are also sought on the structures and processes of law making, and standard setting and corporate governance in different social and political settings, either national or international, and on the more widespreaded adoption of IFRS from 2005.
