The Lecture series on International Accounting Regulation & Corporate Governance, organized jointly with the “UAM-Auditores Madrid” Chair in Corporate Financial Reporting, aims to bring together professionals, academics, students and general public interested in Financial Economics and Accounting, to debate about existing international accounting regulation and firm corporate governance issues. To that end, we invite expert academics and regulators to present different, and often controversial, points of view on the role of financial information, the advances in accounting regulation and in corporate governance, and the future challenges to achieve more efficient capital markets.
