Accounting

Call for Papers
The 9t h World Congress of Accounting Historians comes at the beginning of the twenty-first
century. The next hundred years provide exciting opportunities to expand the influence and scope of
accounting history research and thus to augment our knowledge of the international dimensions of
accounting's past and present. For this Congress a series of research themes representing a number
of the key interests of accounting historians has been adopted.
Scholars are encouraged to submit a paper for consideration for presentation at this impor­tant
global gathering. While papers covering the following themes are particularly welcome, it is rec­ognised
that some researchers will be pursuing other aspects of accounting's past and such papers
are also welcome.
The themes adopted by the Congress are:
• Professionalisation of accounting
• Cost and management accounting
• Financial reporting and accounting regulation
• Accounting in social institutions
• Comparative international accounting history
• Historiography
Submission of Papers
Completed papers should be written in English and will be subject to a peer review process
through the Program Technical Committee. Papers should be submitted in MS Word format by
email, no later than 22 January 2002, to:
