GUIDE FOR AUTHORS

INTRODUCTION
The aims of The International Journal of Accounting are to advance the academic and professional
understanding of accounting theory, policies and practice from the international perspective and
viewpoint. The Journal editorial recognizes that international accounting is influenced by a variety
of forces, e.g., governmental, political and economic. Thus, the primary criterion for manuscript
evaluation is the incremental contribution to international accounting literature and the forces that
impact the field.
The Journal aims at understanding the present and potential ability of accounting to aid in
analyzing and interpretating international economic transactions and the economic consequences of
such reporting. These transactions may be within a profit or non-profit environment. The Journal
encourages a broad view of the origins and development of accounting with an emphasis on its
functions in an increasingly interdependent global economy. The Journal also welcomes manuscripts
that help explain current international accounting practices, with related theoretical justifications,
and identify criticisms of current policies and practice. Other than occasional commissioned papers
or special issues, all the manuscripts published in the Journal are selected by the editors after the
normal double-blind refereeing process
