【Call for Papers】 2026 Regional International Accounting Research Forum (2026 RIARF)
The RIARF 2026, a Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR) initiative, seeks high-quality research that offers deep, contextual insights into regional accounting practices. We place a special emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and related accounting issues within the Taiwanese context. Recognizing the importance of global perspectives, the forum also welcomes comparative and cross-country studies that highlight Taiwan or explore other regional contexts. We aim to promote research that offers rich, contextual insights into individual regions, especially those underrepresented in existing literature, to bridge the gap between local practices and global accounting standards.
Papers presented at the forum are eligible for potential publication in the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR), following the journal’s review process.
