AFAANZ also stated that it publishes a journal that aims to promote public information and research related to accounting and finance and on its grant programme.
"[3] AFAANZ serves the scholarly interests of accounting and finance academics and aims to establish new research and disseminate information in the Australian and New Zealand regions to strengthen the fields.
[4][5][6] The association also aims to educate the public in the accounting, finance, and related disciplines via journals, discussions, lectures, and events.
The research grants provided by AFAANZ are distributed annually and encourage study in accounting and finance.
The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission reports that AFAANZ had an income of $880,788 and that expenses totaled to $855,894 for the year ended 31 December 2019.
[10] Although AFDEN doesn't claim to grant degrees or its own coursework, they offer a network for accounting and finance doctoral candidates to interact throughout the Australian and New Zealand regions.
The program aims to prepare high quality dissertations and find a suitable academic career path.
[11] The symposium allows candidates to present an overview of their research and receive feedback from other doctoral students and professors in their respective fields.
[19] Specifically the journal publishes papers that look to critically interpret historical practices of accounting and their impacts while also promoting study of the subject.
[4] A call is issued early each year for academic papers broadly in accounting and finance to be peer reviewed and disseminated at the conference, which takes place in July.
[23] The two plenary speakers planning to be in attendance are life member and past president of AFAANZ Gary Monroe and professor of accounting at Dartmouth College Phillip Stocken.
Both aim to provide members with networking, scholarship and research grant opportunities to those interested in accounting and finance.
