APMAA Conference 2014

The 10th annual conference of the Asia Pacific Management Accounting Association (APMAA) is hosted by the Chullalongkorn Business School of the University of Chullalongkorn Thailand.  Themed "Management Accounting in a Global, Dynamic Environment: Challenges and Opportunities", the 3-day conference (27-30 October 2014) is to be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Lumpini, Bangkok.  APMAA was formally established in 2004 in Fukuoka, Japan with founding committee members from Kyushu University (Japan), Kyushu Sangyo Univesity (Japan), Universiti Teknologi MARA (Malaysia), University of Chullalongkorn (Thailand), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and Seoul National Universty (Korea).  Members of APMAA take turn to host the annual conference.  The 2014 conference is attended by 200 participants.  One of the greatest characteristics of the APMAA conference is the fact that all submitted and approved papers are assigned discussants to constructively review the papers so that the papers will be further improved for publication in good academic journals.  Preceding the actual conference itself is a PhD colloquium, where PhD students are encouraged to present their research projects and get feedback from experts in the research areas.
