Programme Chairs: Prof David Hillier & Prof Robert Faff
The 9th International Accounting & Finance Doctoral Symposium, which is focused on developing the research strengths and skills of doctoral students, is hosted by the University Strathclyde Business School, Glasgow in partnership with University of Queensland, Trondheim Business School, SKEMA Business School, University of Bangor, University of Bologna and the University of Leeds.
The symposium builds on the tremendous success of the previous meetings, which took place in Ljubljana (2015) Trondheim (2014), Bologna (2013), Glasgow (2012), Salamanca (2011), and Prato (2008-2010). IAFDS 2016 offers an excellent opportunity for students to present their work to an international audience outside their usual University environment. Prominent professors and researchers in the fields of finance, accounting and banking attend the symposium and provide detailed feedback to individual participants on their research.
Each participant will receive a written review of their submitted paper, the opportunity to present their work to leading professors, a detailed one-on-one discussion with an experienced academic about their paper, and an excellent networking experience with other doctoral students from around the globe.
At the end of the symposium certificates will be awarded for Best Paper; Best Presenter & the Paper with Most Potential.
SCOPE:
We seek original empirical and theoretical papers in the fields of accounting, banking and finance, with an emphasis on findings that contribute to solving the outstanding research problems that are of significant impact to these fields.
“PITCHING RESEARCH” STREAM:
The symposium organisers are pleased to announce, following the success of last year, there will be a stream of “pitch paper” presentations, based on:
