Journal of Corporate Accounting and Finance

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Corporate Accounting & Finance publishes papers of empirical or clinical nature aimed at advancing the practice of corporate finance and accounting.

The Journal aims to function as a forum for discussion between practice and academia, where scholars influence practice with research insights and practitioners provide tangible examples for study.

Papers should be informative, analytical, and practical, but not overly technical.

We seek strong “how to” articles covering business strategy and operational issues that give readers new insights and approaches for corporate finance and accounting.

There is particular interest for papers that develop, test, or advance accounting and finance practice methods.

Research papers that qualitatively analyze these methods and clinical papers that discuss the effectiveness of a deployed method are equally desired.

Papers describing the impact of regulations are also welcome, either reviewing impact over time or predicting future impact and directions.

JCAF balances academic research and real-world practices, allowing academicians to learn from practitioners and allowing practitioners to apply leading-edge research to their day-to-day operations.
