IJBAF welcomes theoretical or empirical papers demonstrating how human behaviour affects accounting or finance or vice-versa. The scope of the journal is broad.

Topics covered include
- Judgment and decision-making
- Human information processing
- Behavioural issues in financial accounting, management accounting and auditing
- Behavioural issues in corporate financing, investment, and mutual funds
- Investors' behaviour and sentiments
- Calendar effects and other anomalies in financial markets
- Fundamental and non-fundamental equilibria in financial markets

- Behavioural implications of corporate governance systems
- Experimental studies in accounting and finance

Objectives
IJBAF aims to be a leading journal for publishing original papers reporting the results of research that address behavioural issues in accounting or finance. The term 'behavioural issues' is interpreted widely and includes but is not limited to economic, managerial, psychological and social issues underpinning individuals, groups, organisations, financial markets, and society. The majority of the papers in IJBAF employ empirical methods (econometric or experimental) as a central feature of their research design. Alternative research methods such as case studies will be considered where these are appropriate for the research question. Commentaries or discussions of previously published papers are also welcome but these would usually be shorter papers.
Readership

AI does the books
27 January, 2025
The term artificial intelligence (AI) has perhaps been much misused, not least in hyperbolic reports in the media of its potential to destroy the creative industries and to wreak havoc on the job market. However, AI encompasses so many disparate tools not just the generative software that magics up images, music, video, and text from user prompts but also the analytical tools that can spot latent patterns in data whether that's financial reports or medical scans. Despite the hyperbole, it can be said that AI and related tools are changing the way many processes across industries and academia are carried out. Sometimes the transformation is certainly for the better when the AI tools can detect patterns that would normally be missed by human or even conventional software analysis. Research in the International Journal of Behavioural Accounting and Finance has looked at how AI might benefit corporate operations in terms of financial reporting, decision-making, and stakeholder engagement. Adel Almasarwah of Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Georgia, Assyad Al-Wreikat of Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland, USA, Yahya Marei of Seneca College, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Nizar Alsharari of Jackson State University in Jackson, Missouri, USA, point out that conventional labour-intensive tasks can be automated using machine-learning tools, neural networks, algorithms. These could allow businesses to handle data, make decisions, and communicate transparency more readily than previously [...]
