Newcastle University Business School is delighted to be hosting the 2012 World Congress of Accounting Historians which will take place in St James’ Park, home of the Newcastle United football team. Newcastle is conveniently located 3 hours from London by train and connected to all international routes via its interna­tional airport. The region is rich in historical interest including Hadrians Wall.
The purpose of the Congress is to act as a forum, bringing together scholars from around the world to debate thought provoking research. It is intended to be a cel­ebration of accounting history research in all its diversity. Therefore, all topics are welcomed. The role of accounting in industrial expansion and decline has been designated as a special theme of the Congress in view of its relevance to the region in which it is being held.
