Accounting Profession Journal (APAJI)

Accounting Profession Journal (APAJI) aims as a medium of exchange of information and scientific works among the teaching staff, alumni, students, practitioners and observers of science in accounting and business.

APAJI is that it recognises that informational problems are pervasive in financial markets and business organisations, and that accounting plays an important role in resolving such problems.

APAJI welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions. Nonetheless, theoretical papers should yield novel testable implications, and empirical papers should be theoretically well-motivated. The Editors view accounting and finance as being closely related to economics and, as a consequence, papers submitted will often have theoretical motivations that are grounded in economics. APAJI, however, also seeks papers that complement economics-based theorising with theoretical developments originating in other social science disciplines or traditions.

While many papers in APAJI use econometric or related empirical methods, the Editors also welcome contributions that use other empirical research methods.

Although the scope of APAJI is broad, it is not a suitable outlet for highly abstract mathematical papers, or empirical papers with inadequate theoretical motivation. Also, papers that study asset pricing, or the operations of financial markets, should have direct implications for one or more of preparers, regulators, users of financial statements, and corporate financial decision makers, or at least should have implications for the development of future research relevant to such users.
