The 12th edition of the Accounting Research Symposium took place in Madrid the week of June 27th. This edition, directed by Prof. Leandro Cañibano (UAM) and coordinated by Dr. Beatriz García (UC3M), was attended by over 60 participants: academics, PhD students and professionals from the ICJCE/AT1 attended the nine sessions of the Symposium, which was hosted by the Fundación Ramón Areces, and organized in collaboration with INDEM.
Amongst the speaker, this year, the Symposium had lectures by distinguished guest speakers Henri Dekker, Daniel Ferreira, Kevin Jackson, Christian Leuz, Per Olsson, Bill Rees and Hanno Roberts. In addition, we hosted a Colloquium on Writing by Susan Hancock to orient early stage researchers on how to write and publish their manuscripts.
