Welcome
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 12th
World Congress of Accounting Educators and
Researchers which will take place on 13-15 November 2014 in Florence, Italy. This congress is
based on the joint collaboration between IAAER and the University of Florence.
IAAER hosts the World Congress every four years in conjunction with the World Congress of
Accountants of IFAC. This time IFAC’s World Congress will be held in Rome on 10-13 November
2014, making it easy for those who wish to attend both of the World Congresses to arrange their
schedules.
The fact that the IAAER World Congress 2014 is held in Italy has a special meaning for accounting
educators and researchers. Italy is known as the historical place for bookkeeping and accounting.
In 1494, Luca Pacioli published in Italy “Summa de Arithmetica Geometria Proportioni et
Proportionalita”, which is the ﬁrst book of bookkeeping in the world. Professor A.C. Littleton
evaluated him highly as the father of modern accounting. It should also be noted that Luca Pacioli
had taught at the University of Florence.
The year of 2014 is the 30th
anniversary of IAAER. Since its establishment in 1984, IAAER has truly
become a global academic accounting association. The IAAER World Congress 2014 will provide
us with a good opportunity to review our developments during the past 30 years and discuss
about the next steps that IAAER should take to further pursue its mission.
I believe the IAAER World Congress 2014 will provide you with the most productive and exciting
opportunities to hear the latest developments in accounting education and research, and to
interact and exchange ideas with the participants from all over the world.
I look forward to meeting you and I wish you an exciting experience in Florence!
Kazuo Hiramatsu
President, IAAER
