Financial reporting and business communication
Eighth Annual ConferenceCardiff Business School1 and 2 July 2004
Guest speaker: Mary Keegan, Chairman of the UK Accounting Standards Board
The increasing prominence of International Accounting Standards and the continuing ramifications of the Enron affair reinforce the need to address such questions as:
- •
What is the role of accounting standards?
- •
How effective is financial reporting?
- •
What is the purpose of the modern corporate report?
- •
Can financial communication be neutral?
- •
What is the impact of the internet on reporting by companies?
A conference will be held at Cardiff Business School on 1 and 2 July 2004 to discuss these and related topics. Papers are invited on all aspects of financial reporting and business communication. This includes empirical, case study and review articles on such topics as the measurement, disclosure, presentation, communication and impact of financial and business information contained in the annual reports and other business documentation in both the private and public sectors. Organisational, historical and international studies are welcomed. Details, including the titles of a selection of papers presented at previous conferences can be found at: www.cardiff.ac.uk/carbs/conferences/past/frbc_2003.html
