Friday 8th October 2021
We are proud to host the 1st PhD and Young Accounting Scholars conference at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass Business School), which is organised jointly with the School of Accounting and Finance, University of Bristol.
The conference aims to give final-year PhDs an opportunity to hone their presentation skills and receive feedback before the job market. Young Accounting Scholars are recent PhD graduates who have the opportunity to present their papers and receive feedback from discussants and the audience before journal submission.
The conference builds on the Young Accounting Scholars Network of top UK and European business schools.
