The Journal of Accounting Science (JAS) serves as an influential conduit for the exchange of scholarly insights, research, and practical wisdom among academics, alumni, students, practitioners, and enthusiasts in the accounting science domain.

JAS warmly welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions. We, however, stipulate that theoretical papers should present a clear research gap, originality, generate testable new implications, and that empirical submissions must be underpinned by sound theoretical motivation.

Our journal's focus is characterized by its breadth and depth, encompassing a diverse array of themes, topics, and aspects within the realm of accounting and investment. JAS invites manuscripts that are founded on various theoretical frameworks and research paradigms. The areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

1. Financial Accounting: We welcome submissions related to all aspects of financial accounting, such as financial statement analysis, the impact of accounting regulations and standards, corporate financial reporting, international financial reporting, and the role of financial accounting in decision-making.

2. Management Accounting: Submissions in this area might examine topics like cost accounting, budgeting, performance evaluation, internal decision-making, strategic management accounting, and the application of management accounting tools in decision making and control.
