The Critical Perspectives on Accounting Conference brings together accounting faculty, doctoral students and researchers from other disciplines who are interested in critical accounting research.
The Conference is held every three years. It offers an inclusive and energizing atmosphere, aiming to build and consolidate the network of active supporters of critical accounting scholarship. The Conference also seeks to encourage critical reflexivity on the development of accounting prescriptions and the practice of accounting in a world facing a multitude of challenges. Further, the Conference aims to generate substantive conversations on how accounting might be improved in the hope of constructing a better and fairer world.

The university is now connected to downtown Toronto by subway, bringing the amazing dining, entertainment, and accommodation options of one of the world’s most culturally diverse cities within easy reach of conference participants.
