Advances in Accounting Education: Special Issue on Ethics and Accounting Education

Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations

Submissions are invited for a special volume devoted to articles dealing with incorporating and/or teaching ethics to accounting students at the college and university level. The purpose of this special volume is to help accounting educators who are considering new ways to incorporate ethics in to the accounting curriculum and to share best practices. Papers can include:
- Thought pieces that discuss the current state of ethics in the accounting curriculum and potential future directions.
- Position papers on the role of ethics in accounting education.
- Research studies with implications for developing professional ethics in accounting students and improving the incorporation of ethics in accounting education.

TOPICS: AIAE provides a forum for sharing generalizable teaching approaches ranging from curricula development to content delivery techniques. This special issue will feature research that contributes to more effective teaching of ethics related content and issues in colleges and universities. Topics may include new contributions from the application of models of ethical development to accounting education, the creation of new teaching tools and materials for incorporating ethics into accounting classes, and the development of ethical sensitivity in accounting students.

Non-empirical papers should be academically rigorous, and specifically discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs or policy issues related to the teaching of ethics. Empirical reports should exhibit sound research design and execution, and must develop a thorough motivation and literature review, possibly including references from outside the accounting field.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Send two files by email: one with a manuscript copy but without a cover page and one solely with a cover page. Also, attach a copy of any research instruments. Cover pages should list all authors' names and addresses (with telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses). The authors' names and addresses should not appear on the abstract. To assure anonymous review, authors should not identify themselves directly or indirectly. Two reviewers assess each manuscript submitted with reviews completed in a timely manner. Send manuscripts to Dorothy Feldmann and Tim Rupert at aiae@neu.edu

Detailed information on how to prepare your manuscript according to production requirements can be obtained by e-mailing the editors at the above e-mail address.

Papers should be submitted by August 31, 2013 to be considered for this special volume. All others will be published in future regular volumes of AIAE. If too few ethics papers are accepted to fill a special volume, these papers will be published in a special section or in future regular volumes of AIAE.
