Guest speaker: Professor Ross Watts, MIT Sloan School of Management We are pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Financial Reporting and Business Communication Conference. This conference continues to address key questions of interest to accounting academics and practitioners, such as: How effective is financial reporting? What role does financial reporting play in corporate governance? What is the purpose of the modern corporate report? How can financial reporting contribute to sustainability? Can financial communication be neutral? What is the impact of the Internet on reporting by companies? A conference will be held at Cardiff Business School on 6 and 7 July 2006 to discuss these and related topics. Papers are invited on all aspects of Financial Reporting and Business Communication. This includes empirical, case study and review articles on such topics as the measurement, disclosure, presentation, communication and impact of financial and business information contained in the annual reports and other business documentation in both the private and public sectors. Organisational, historical and international studies are welcomed. Details, including the titles of a selection of papers presented at previous conferences can be found at: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/carbs/conferences/past/frbc 2005.html. Should you wish to have a paper considered for presentation at the conference, please send a 500 word abstract to the organisers by 1 March 2006. Sponsored by
