The 10th Rutgers - ATP India Accounting & Finance Symposium, hosted by Great Lakes Institute of Management, aims to bring together leading academicians, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss contemporary developments in the fields of accounting, finance, economics, and related disciplines.
The symposium will provide a platform for high-quality research presentations, insightful discussions, and networking opportunities.
While the primary focus of the conference is on accounting, we also welcome papers related to corporate finance, asset pricing, corporate governance, law, contracting, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility.
