2018 CAAA Annual Conference: Accounting and the Public Trust
Call For Papers

We invite you to join us in Calgary for the 2018 CAAA Annual Conference: Accounting and the Public Trust.

The 2018 CAAA conference focuses on the positive role that accounting academics and professionals play as stewards of public trust - a role that is fundamental to the health and sustainability of our capital markets - while challenging us to courageously find ways to lead in the rejuvenation of trust in and throughout our profession.

Calgary's friendly spirit, coupled with the city's vibrant urban ambience makes for a metropolis of wonderful contrasts. We invite you to Canada's most dynamic city and Calgary's premier hotel. Centrally located in downtown Calgary, Fairmont Palliser is within walking distance to the city's most exciting retail shopping, arts, culture and entertainment venues.

The CAAA invites original papers for the 2018 Annual Conference on all areas of research including financial and management accounting, financial reporting and communication, assurance, tax, accounting history, and public sector accounting.

Submissions are accepted in English and French.

We look forward to welcoming you to Calgary!
