Accounting Perspectives

Overview

Accounting Perspectives is a peer-reviewed forum that provides new insights in Canadian accounting research, policy, and education. The journal publishes research, literature reviews, commentary, educational articles, and instructional cases that speak from and speak to the accounting community in Canada and beyond.

Aims and Scope

Accounting Perspectives welcomes submissions in the following four streams:

- Literature reviews that synthesize an area of accounting research, with an emphasis on the research questions that have been addressed and the areas that warrant further analysis.

- Research and commentary including financial reporting, assurance services, performance measurement, governance, information systems, tax, and ethics.

- Educational articles on learning, curriculum, competency-based and professional education, evaluation, and employment

- Instructional cases based on real or fictional events but must be representative of real accounting issues. Submitted cases must be ready for use in the classroom and include teaching notes.

Accounting Perspectives welcomes all theoretical and methodological paradigms. Articles and instructional cases must be written in an accessible style suitable for the journal’s diverse audience. Technical terms, methodologies, and results should be clearly defined and discussed. The editorial board reflects and subscribes to multi-paradigm and multinational perspectives.

Accounting Perspectives recognizes the importance of disseminating high-quality educational materials such as cases and other articles intended for instructional use. Such materials must meet relevant quality standards and pass peer review. The teaching notes will be reviewed at the same time as the case and the quality of the teaching notes will be an important consideration in assessing the case. Access to Teaching Notes is a member benefit of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association.
