Finance and accounting are seen as essential components for the successful implementation of market-based development policies supporting economic liberalisation in the rapidly emerging economies in Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. Scholarly research into finance and accounting issues affecting Africa, the Middle-East and Asia is currently wanting. A contributing factor is the lack of suitable journals dedicated to publishing high quality research on finance and accounting issues specifically affecting the African, Middle-Eastern and Asian regions.
The aim of AAJFA is to bridge this gap in the finance and accounting literature within the above context. AAJFA fosters greater discussion and research of the development of the finance and accounting disciplines in Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. A major feature of the journal will be to emphasise the implications of this development and the effects on businesses, academics and professionals.
The journal will be published annually in two issues, in January and July
 Objectives
AAJFA is dedicated to publishing high quality research papers focusing specifically on finance and accounting issues in Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. The journal will cater for the research and knowledge requirements of finance and accounting scholars and professionals from (or with an interest in) Africa, the Middle-East and Asia.
AAJFA adopts a regional and intercontinental perspective to foster research that can be transferred across multiple cultural and social barriers to enhance greater bridging of the knowledge gap. It seeks to provide a valuable proactive conduit for contemporary critical thought and discussion on not only prevailing finance and accounting issues but topics that may affect Africa, the Middle-East and Asia in the future. Readership
With a broadly defined scope, AAJFA provides a valuable research and reference source for finance and accounting researchers, educators, students, policy makers, financial planners, forecasters and analysts, accounting and auditing professionals, bankers, and other decision makers in governmental, non-profit and financial institutions. AAJFA caters for a readership not only within Africa, the Middle-East and Asia regions but also amongst those from outside with an interest in finance and accounting issues in these regions. Contents
The primary criterion for publication in AAJFA is the significance of the manuscript’s contribution to the development and understanding of finance and accounting in Africa, Asia and the Middle-East. The scope of submission encouraged is broad. AAJFA welcomes original manuscripts that develop, test or advances finance and accounting theory, research or practice. Replication based studies applying sound theoretical foundation and research method are strongly encouraged. Studies illustrating the significance of major finance and accounting within the specific context of Africa, Middle-East and Asia will also be considered.
Research manuscripts offering the journal’s readership new insights and approaches into finance and accounting issues affecting African, Middle-Eastern and Asian organisations are welcomed, together with comparative research reflecting and impacting the above regions. Manuscripts can be behavioural, empirical, historical and theoretical in content. AAJFA recognises the multi-paradigmatic nature of finance and accounting and encourages contributions from all paradigms. In addition to research manuscripts, AAJFA will consider research commentary, case studies, and book reviews for publication. Special issues devoted to important topics of very contemporary relevance in Finance and Accounting will occasionally be published.
