Accounting and Finance celebrates 20th Annual Doctoral Consortium
21 Jul 2008 | Bernie Goldie
The School of Accounting and Finance marked a milestone in celebrating its 20th Annual Doctoral Consortium on Friday 18 July. The event is supportive of the Faculty of Commerce’s mission of Inspiring Socially Innovative Commerce.
The school is recognised internationally for its expertise in the area of critical accounting research. Through the day’s theme of Paradigm, Paradox and Paralysis? insights into the role of accounting and finance in the wide social and political milieu were explored.
Keynote speakers Emeritus Professor Michael Gaffikin from the University of Wollongong, Professor Joni Young from the University of New Mexico, and Professor Paul Williams from North Carolina State University each presented their latest work.
The significance of this highly concentrated research focused event is being acknowledged with a special edition of the Accounting Forum Journal, with the editor Associate Professor Glen Lehman in attendance.
Organisers said that the event was welcomed by research students and Accounting and Finance academics -- both from the University of Wollongong and other Australian universities.
Emeritus Professor Gaffikin established the doctoral consortium 20 years ago.
