The 2019 HKUST Accounting Research Symposium

The symposium is cancelled due to the escalating unrest in Hong Kong.

The 2019 HKUST Accounting Research Symposium invites the submission of unpublished manuscripts in all areas of accounting research. The Symposium welcomes the participation of accounting scholars for two days of presentations and discussions, including a keynote speech by Professor Patricia Dechow from the University of Southern California. It will be held during December 16-17, 2019 on the HKUST campus.

Paper Details

The Symposium welcomes manuscripts in all current areas of research in accounting. Manuscripts should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group’s discussion. The Symposium will include no more than ten papers. A travel subsidy of US$1,000 per paper will be provided to overseas presenters.
