Papers that address issues of compliance, audit oversight and enforcement will be welcomed, together with other relevant topics such as accounting in regulated industries, the effects of regulation and deregulation on financial disclosure behaviour, the implications for corporate governance, and the consequences of accounting regulation for markets and institutions.

Papers are also sought on the structures and processes  of law making, and standard setting and corporate governance in different social and political settings, either national or  international, and on the more widespreaded adoption of IFRS from 2005.
