## Introduction
Text Area
The 2018 HKUST Accounting Research Symposium invites the submission of unpublished manuscripts in all areas of accounting research. The Symposium welcomes the participation of accounting scholars for two days of presentations and discussions, including a keynote speech by Professor Wayne Guay from the University of Pennsylvania. It will be held during December 14-15, 2018 on the HKUST campus.
##### Paper Details
The Symposium welcomes manuscripts in all current areas of research in accounting. Manuscripts should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group's discussion. The Symposium will include no more than ten papers. A travel subsidy of US$1,000 per paper will be provided to overseas presenters.
##### Paper Submission Procedure
The deadline for manuscript submission is September 15, 2018. Please submit an electronic copy including a one-page abstract (MS-Word or PDF only) to [acconf@ust.hk](mailto:acconf@ust.hk)
