Current issues in accounting research

This unit will equip you with an awareness of and appreciation for the current state-of-the-art research in accounting in your specialist sub-discipline as well as across different domain areas and research traditions. The content can be relatively flexible, but each year faculty will be invited to identify a series of hot-topic articles in their sub-disciplines that can then form the core articles to be used in the unit. Change here is welcome to keep the unit fresh and up-to-date, and working papers could be included. Based on the current honours units, the current hot-topic articles could be relatively evenly split between financial accounting, management accounting, auditing and accounting information systems.
