ENROAC was formed in 1999 and has a truly international flavour. Its membership comprises academics, accounting professionals and other business managers who share a keen interest in accounting and organisational change. For more information on ENROAC see: http://www.dundee.ac.uk/accountancy/research/enroac/enroac.htm
The organisers welcome all papers addressing any topic (using any methods and methodologies) that resonate with the broad scope and aims of the ENROAC network. However, papers on the following topic areas would be especially welcomed:
- •
Accounting and accountability in public reform
- •
Innovation in accounting techniques and methods
- •
New and emerging roles for accountants
- •
Globalisation and accounting practice
- •

Following the ENROAC tradition, the conference will begin with (a half) day focused on a particular theme with keynote speakers from (local) business and (international) academia. The theme this time is Accounting and Public Reforms and confirmed speakers include Luis Marques (Chief Financial Officer, Aveiro Port Authority), Vanessa Rodrigues (Manager, Central Lisbon Hospital), Professor Deryl Northcott (Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand), Professor Irvine Lapsley (University of Edinburgh Business School, UK) and Professor John Burns (University of Exeter Business School, UK).
The remainder of the conference will be devoted to academic papers. As in the past, all papers will have a discussant; this has proved very successful in previous conferences, in facilitating lively discussions and helping authors to push their ideas towards publication.
Social events, included in the conference fee, comprise a guided tour of the Chiado district of Lisbon's historic centre, followed by a welcome reception in the Solar do Vinho do Porto (Port Wine Institute) and a gala dinner at the Castle of SÐo Jorge in Lisbon, with ``fado'' singing.
