About the journal
The Australian Accounting Review (AAR) is the pre-eminent, peer-reviewed journal published four times a year on behalf of CPA Australia.
AAR is positioned at the intersection of business and academe and features articles by leading practitioners and researchers. It aims to provide in-depth discussion and critical analysis of developments affecting professionals in all areas of finance, accounting and business.
Articles published in Australian Accounting Review should be relevant to the journal's primary readership: the Australasian and international academic, professional, business, government and regulatory communities. Review articles on issues relevant to AAR's primary readership are also favourably received. Motivation for articles should be located in current events/problems that affect the business and professional communities, and in the literature. Articles must display a high level of critical analysis, employ an appropriate research approach, provide empirical evidence to support conclusions, and establish the local and international significance of their findings. Replications of international studies that simply apply an accepted methodology to a data set in a different context are not acceptable unless the broad implications of conclusions are articulated, and are of relevance to a wider set of circumstances. Data that purport to be contemporary need to be so. Papers must be scholarly and have the authority of academic rigour yet be accessible to non-academic readers. Papers are subject to a double-blind peer review process to ensure the quality of their underlying research methodology and argument.

STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should follow the StyleManual for Authors, Editors and Printers (AGPS, Canberra).
Spelling
The Journal uses Australian spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Macquarie Dictionary.

References References in the body of the text should be as follows: 'Jones (1992) suggests that . . .' or 'This problem was noted earlier (see Smith 1990, Jones 1992, Black and Cook 1995)' or 'There are 128 companies using this accounting method (Green 1995: 38)'.
The list of references should appear at the end of the main text, after appendices but before tables and figures. It should be double-spaced and listed in alphabetical order. All co-authors' names are to be similarly listed in alphabetical order, i.e., the use of et al is not acceptable. The References example below illustrates the required style.
Please ensure that titles of journal articles and books are in Title Case (first letter of each word in capitals). However, prepositions, conjunctions anddefinite articles should be capitalised only if they begin a sentence or follow a colon. Please remember to include the city of publication for all books, and to include it after the publishing house.
Also, please only include articles or books in the references that have been referred to in your paper, and ensure that the year of publication is correct and is the same in both the references and your textual referrals.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive - the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, ¡ì, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Please check all your tables and figures closely for accuracy.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text, numbered with Arabic numerals, and supplied on separate pages.
If supplied electronically, figures must be supplied as high resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) files, saved as .eps or .tif. Do not embed figures in the word document - they must be supplied in separate files. Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package. Lettering must be included and should be sized to be no larger than the journal text.
Original slides and unmounted high-resolution photographs can be submitted by post if the author does not have access to scanning facilities.
AAR does not print in colour, so please provide images in black and white only, or ensure that the figure can still be understood if converted to black and white.
Equations
Equations should be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals; these should be ranged right in parentheses. All variables should appear in italics. Use the simplest possible form for all mathematical symbols.
ELECTRONIC MANUSCRIPTS
If a manuscript is accepted for publication the author is required to provide one copy of the final version, in Microsoft Word on a CD-ROM or as an attachment to an e-mail message; plus one hard copy to the Editor.
The following instructions should be adhered to:
• The attachmentmust contain the relevant file(s) only. The entire article (including tables) should be supplied as a single file; only electronic figures should be supplied as separate files. • Authors should supply their accepted paper as formatted text. • Please note that Word 2007 is not yet compatible with journal production systems. Please use Word's 'Save As' option therefore to save your document as an older (.doc) file type. • Do not use Enter at the end of lineswithin a paragraph. • Turn the hyphenation option off; include only those hyphens that are essential to the meaning. • Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters. • Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for ¦Â (Greek beta). • Use a tab, not spaces, to separate data points in tables. If you use a table editor function, ensure that each data point is contained within a unique cell (i.e. do not use carriage returns within cells).
Manuscripts that do not conform to these requirements may be returned for revision.
