Editorial Objectives
African Accounting and Finance Journal (AAFJ) aims to publish innovative, straightforward, challenging, thought-provoking articles in the broad business field of Accounting and finance. The journal’s content aspires to be relevant and interesting to a wide readership interested in accounting and finance in Africa in particular and generally how the global practices of accounting and finance and related agendas are implicated in the African accounting and finance praxis, which adds to the understanding and discussion of African business accounting and finance and academia worldwide.
Editorial Scope
African Accounting and Finance Journal (AAFJ) is an accounting and finance journal. The Journal therefore invites articles covering (but not limited to) the key accounting and finance fields. The areas of interest to the journal include (but not limited to): 1) auditing and assurance services, financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, and all other areas of accounting, broadly defined and 2) corporate governance, financial structure, payout policies, corporate restructuring, microfinance, financial contracts, the economics of organizations, the influence of legal structures, general financial management and all other areas of finance, broadly defined. To serve our readers well, each published paper’s abstract will be in dual language, i.e. English and French, at the Journal’s cost.
The AAFJ is interdisciplinary in terms of topics so it is open to a wide range of research papers and studies ranging from accounting, auditing, banking, business, ethics, finance, governance, international business, management, strategy, sustainability and taxation, amongst others.
It is also eclectic in methodology, and therefore welcomes all types of studies conducted using different methodological approaches, such as qualitative research, quantitative research, critical literature reviews, bibliometric literature reviews, narrative literature reviews, systematic literature reviews, survey studies, and ethnographic studies, amongst others.
Topicality

African Accounting and Finance Journal broad coverage makes it easy to learn about the latest practical and scholarly thinking; providing accounting and finance practitioners and scholars of the state-of-the-art business knowledge in accounting and finance.
