About
The third annual IASB Research Forum was held in conjunction with the 2016 Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) conference on 15 and 16 October 2016 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
The event brought together the IFRS Foundation and one of the accounting world’s highest-ranking academic journals.
CAR has established a worldwide reputation by encouraging diverse and innovative research across the broad spectrum of roles that accounting plays in markets, organisations, and society. To enable stakeholders around the world to follow the research presentations and discussions at the event, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board made all the sessions available to watch via the conference website.
