Submission

The conference is an annual meeting place for the academic management accounting community and offers a unique opportunity for presenting research in management accounting and finding out what colleagues in the field are working on. In addition, ACMAR provides a friendly and sociable context to keep in touch with colleagues from across Europe and beyond.

We invite you to present your research at one of the parallel sessions of the conference. Research papers dealing with all aspects of management accounting will be considered for presentation.

Submission deadline is December 2, 2024. (Submission will open at the beginning of October)

An author can submit and present only one paper. However, a presenter can also be a non-presenting co-author on additional papers.

Authors are invited to submit full papers. The deadline for the submission of papers will be announced soon.

A full paper is a complete scholarly research report that could reasonably be submitted for publication in a public working paper data base such as SSRN.

Papers will be evaluated by independent peer review.

Confirmation of acceptance or rejection will be given by the end of December, and mailed to the corresponding address of the presenting author (unless another author is selected as a contact person).

The presenters of an accepted paper must register as a participant for the conference.
