The 2026 JBFA Conference invites submissions of high-quality research papers on financial and non-financial reporting, performance measurement, corporate finance, accounting-based asset pricing, and corporate governance. The conference particularly welcomes papers using novel research methods or data, those adopting international perspectives or exploiting international institutional differences, theoretical papers with clear empirical predictions, and comprehensive reviews of research literatures in these areas.
Papers will be reviewed and decisions communicated by the end of March 2026. Accepted papers will be published in JBFA and a Virtual Special Issue. Conference attendance is by invitation only, held 20-22 May 2026 in the Lake District, with no registration fee and accommodation provided for presenting authors.
