Re-thinking the use of coaching and mentoring within financial and management accounting: the teaching, practice and research perspectives

Submission deadline – 1 Jan 2017

Guest Editor: Dr Muhammad Rafique, Nottingham University Business School

The International Journal of Management and Applied Research (IJMAR) aims to provide a discussion platform for the growing number of accounting researchers and educators who realised that the established theory and practice are not in sync with the challenges of the business environment. In fact, the dominating accounting practices are influenced by social, ecological and other problems of the new millennium.

Possible themes might include, but are not limited to:

  • Concrete accounting practices that firms do or should have to measure or promote coaching or mentoring for staff development
  • The importance of soft skills for hard core accountants
  • The role of accounting in measuring organisational performance
  • The role of financial accounting in the processes of capital formation
  • Reflecting on the conflict between the social and private aspects of accounting, e.g. conflicts of interest in the audit process
  • The role of management accounting in organising the employment process
  • Accounting frameworks and standard-setting
  • Accounting and the equitable distribution of social resources
  • The gap between academic accounting research and professional practice
  • Accounting and economic systems of distributions
  • Using accounting practice to articulate or challenge barriers between practice and research
