ICAEW and ABR Partnership

Accounting and Business Research (ABR) was established over 50 years ago by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) in 1970. The founding editor, Walter Taplin, highlighted the role of “Business” in the journal’s title in the editorial of the first issue by stating: “It is hoped that many of the problems discussed and the projects described will be those that arise in the practical context of industry and commerce.” Today, the aims and scope of our journal still reflect these origins as we seek to disseminate original research that contributes to the understanding of the role of accounting in business, and the ICAEW logo on the front cover of ABR also continues to attest our partnership.

International Accounting Policy Forum - Special Issues

The International Accounting Policy Forum is an annual special issue of Accounting and Business Research published since 2006. It serves as a platform to disseminate the research and opinions of thought leaders in the international academic accounting community on important accounting policy issues. Through its associated conferences, including the ICAEW’s Information for Better Markets Conferences and PD Leake lectures, and through the publication of accompanying practitioner discussions to the academic manuscripts, it plays a highly valuable role in facilitating the exchange of ideas between academics, practitioners and regulators."
