The University of Sydney Business School will host two of the meetings, the鈥�13th World Congress of Accounting Educators and Researchers (IAAER)鈥痑nd the powerful International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) Research Forum between 8th and 12th November.

Both the meeting of accounting educators and the IASB will coincide with the International Federation of Accountancy鈥檚 World Congress of Accountants to be held at Sydney鈥檚 Darling Harbour.

The influential IASB operates under the auspices of the IFRS Foundation and is backed by the G20, the Financial Stability Board and the World Bank.

Standards set by the Board underpin the practice of accounting in more than 140 jurisdictions including Australia, member countries of the European Union and many Asian jurisdictions such as China and Japan.

鈥淭he IFRS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation which works to develop a single set of high-quality global accounting standards,鈥� explained the Business School鈥檚 head of Accounting, Professor鈥�.

鈥淭he Foundation鈥檚 mission is to bring transparency, accountability and efficiency to financial markets around the world in a way that serves the public interest by fostering trust, growth and long-term financial stability,鈥� he said.

Professor Jones, who is also the Editor-in-Chief of the prestigious international journal ABACUS, says that papers to be put to the IASB鈥檚 Research Forum will, amongst other things, look at intangible assets, extractive activities and accounting practices in China. These papers will form a Special Issue of ABACUS to be published in early 2019.

Around a hundred leaders in the accounting field are expected to attend the IASB Research Forum including accounting academics representing universities in China and the United States.

The 13th World Congress of Accounting Educators and Researchers is expecting about two hundred delegates from around the world. The Congress is organised every four years by the International Association of Accounting Educators and Researchers.

鈥淚AAER鈥檚 mission is to promote excellence in accounting education and research on a worldwide basis and to maximise the contribution of accounting academics to the development and maintenance of high quality, globally recognised standards of accounting practice,鈥� says the Association鈥檚 President Professor Katherine Schipper.

Commenting on the venue for this year鈥檚 World Congress of Accounting Educators and Researchers, Professor Schipper said that 鈥渁ccountancy has a long and distinguished history in Australia, including exemplary global contributions by Australian accountants to accounting theory, research, education, practice and standard setting鈥�.
