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.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s conference theme is: \u201cthe role of accounting information in debt markets\u201d. 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\u2019 external financing.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
