IÉSEG to host international accounting research conference
04/17/2015
On 29 June, IÉSEG will host and co-organise a major international accounting conference at its campus at La Défense in Paris.
The 9th in a series of annual conferences initiated by the London School of Economics (LSE) and Manchester Business School (MBS), the event seeks to provide a forum for academics, policy makers and practitioners from around the world to debate topical issues in accounting research, focusing in particular on the role of accounting information in the capital markets.
This year’s conference theme is: “the role of accounting information in debt markets”. Prior academic work has largely focused on the impact of accounting information for equity markets. However, both private and public debt markets also play an important part of firms’ external financing.
Academics, practitioners as well as policy makers will benefit from a further understanding of how financial statement information as well as regulations and accounting standards influence the interaction between firms and both public and private lenders.
The conference program is composed of presentations and discussions by leading experts from both the US and Europe and will provide ample opportunity for informal interaction.
For more information, or to register your interest in attending the conference, please, email Dr Christof Beuselinck.
