New Accounting History in the Changing Era
Papers are invited on all historical themes related to the development of accounting (e.g. management accounting; financial accounting and reporting; audit) around the world—and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region—which can offer insights for understanding recent changes not only in accounting but in any aspect of the modern and future economic and social development of China and its cities; or which draw on the history of Chinese accounting from ancient to modern times in understanding developments elsewhere in the world. Methodologies may be primarily theoretical or empirical, including historical narrative.
