Florida Accounting Symposium

September 27-28, 2024, Tallahassee, FL

Call for Papers

We are delighted to invite accounting researchers from all accounting Ph.D. granting institutions within Florida to submit manuscripts to the ninth annual Florida Accounting Symposium (FAS). The FAS’ objective is to facilitate the interaction of accounting researchers (especially junior faculty and doctoral students) and the exchange of research ideas in the great Sunshine State. The University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of Miami take turns hosting the annual FAS. The ninth conference will be held on September 27-28, 2024, in Tallahassee, Florida.

The 2024 FAS submission deadline is July 21, 2024. Papers will be selected by the Program Committee. Submitting authors will be notified of the program committee’s decisions no later than August 18.

Both accounting faculty and doctoral students from accounting Ph.D. granting institutions within Florida are invited to attend the conference. While preference is given to manuscripts coauthored by junior faculty and doctoral students, we also encourage senior faculty to be actively involved in the conference. Registration before September 1 is required (via the website below) but no registration fee is charged. The conference will start with lunch at noon on Friday, September 27, and end right after lunch on Saturday, September 28.
