Governance, Accountability, Performance and Sustainability Special Interest Group

GAPS is the Special Interest Group of the Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand (AFAANZ)

In 2007 it was decided to change the name of our SIG to Governance, Accountability, Performance and Sustainability – or GAPS. We believe this will enable us to encourage a wider range of papers – generating more interest not only in the SIG but in AFAANZ.  The change was needed to catch up with the rest of the world and we will be forming ties with similar groups in the UK and USA. We also plan to offer a reviewing process for submissions this year and are in the process of negotiating an opportunity to send papers to a local journal for possible inclusion in future publications. We hope you will support our attempt to revamp GAPS into a worthwhile SIG in which to generate not only a variety of discussion, but to assist younger researchers by providing a review process.
