Accounting & Finance

The 16th International Accounting & Finance Doctoral Symposium is focused on developing the research strengths and skills of doctoral students. This symposium will be hosted SKEMA Business School at their campus in Paris,  in partnership with, Politecnico di Milano, SOAS University of London, Tsinghua University, Universidad de Salamanca, Universita di Bologna, University of Vaasa Business School, University of Leeds, University of Liverpool and University of Strathclyde Business School.

The symposium builds on the tremendous success of previous meetings, which took place in Athens (2022), Milan (2019) Bangor (2018) Warsaw (2017) Glasgow (2016), Ljubljana (2015), Trondheim (2014), Bologna (2013), Glasgow (2012), Salamanca (2011), and Prato (2008-2010).  In order to maintain this annual event and support PhD students in 2021 IAFDS was held as a virtual symposium.

IAFDS 2023 offers an excellent opportunity for students to present their work to an international audience outside their usual University environment. Prominent professors and researchers in the fields of finance, banking and accounting attend the symposium and provide detailed feedback to individual participants on their research.

Each participant will receive a written review of their submitted paper, the opportunity to present their work to leading professors, a detailed one-on-one discussion with an experienced academic about their paper, and an excellent networking experience with other doctoral students from around the globe.

At the end of the symposium certificates will be awarded for the Michael McKenzie Best Paper; the Maria Strydom Best Presenter, the Paper with Most Potential, and Best Discussant.
