Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR)

Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) is a prestigious international scholarly journal that serves as the flagship research publication of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association, with global reach and influence in the accounting academic community. First appearing in 1984, the journal has built a strong reputation for publishing innovative and rigorous research that explores accounting practices, standards, and phenomena in a broad organizational and societal context. With a quarterly publication schedule, CAR presents cutting-edge studies that employ diverse methodological approaches to address both enduring and emerging questions in accounting research. The journal’s mission is to advance academic understanding of accounting’s role in decision-making, governance, financial reporting quality, auditor behavior, regulatory effects, and market responses. It captures interdisciplinary insights that reflect the dynamic interface between accounting and fields such as economics, finance, psychology, and sociology. Articles in CAR range from empirical analyses of financial reporting practices to theoretical explorations of accounting regulation, behavioral studies of decision-making, and case studies that illuminate real-world accounting challenges.
