European Accounting Association
The European Accounting Association (EAA) aims to link together the Europe-wide community of accountancy scholars and researchers, to provide a platform for the wider dissemination of European accounting research and to foster and improve research.
Since its establishment in 1977 the EAA has had a major impact on the accounting research community throughout Europe. Gone are the days when only a few accounting academics knew their colleagues in other countries. The EAA has established a secure and developing series of networks that bring together all accounting researchers interested in a wider European conception of their subject and research interests.
The central body of the organisation is the Executive Committee, which consists mostly of representatives elected for a three-year term by members in each country. This meets once a year before the annual congress. Day-to-day administration is provided by the EIASM Secretariat, and a steering group consisting of the past, current and prospective presidents. The president is elected each year, and is normally from the country which hosted the annual congress.
Membership can be on an institutional or individual basis. Members qualify for a reduced charge for the annual congress and receive an automatic subscription to the European Accounting Review. Members need not necessarily be based in Europe, but those from outside Europe do not have an elected representative on the EAA Management Committee.
