4th Alternative Perspectives in Accounting Research Conference

Ecole de Comptabilité, Université Laval, Québec City April 24-25, 2009

Guest Speaker: Steven Salterio, Queen’s University

In the last two decades, the field of accounting research has become increasingly diversified. A vast range of research epistemologies and methodologies has developed as a way to provide new insights into accounting problems. Being sometimes designated as “alternative perspectives”, this eclectic and diverse body of research ischaracterized by the overarching objective of developing better understanding of accounting from behavioural, organizational, and sociological angles. This conference aims to increase accounting researchers’ awareness of the diverse areas of research belonging to the “alternative” paradigm of accounting research, and to provide a forum to discuss these studies from a variety of viewpoints.

The conference will be held on April 24-25, 2009 at Université Laval in Québec City. Professor Steven Salterio, from Queen’s University, has confirmed his participation at the conference as a guest speaker.

The conference program will soon be posted on the Ecole de Comptabilité’s main web page: www5.fsa.ulaval.ca/sgc/faculte/departementsecole/ecolecomptabilite
