Australasian Accounting, Business and Finance Journal:Editorial Volume 16 Issue 3

Abstract

This issue of the Australasian Accounting Business and Finance Journal encompasses a range of articles from accounting and finance. From accounting-related studies, Meredith, Baxter and Anwar (2022) investigate whether the creativity levels of individual accountants and perceptions of their creativity varied across different hierarchical levels and service areas in regional accounting firms using a survey instrument. Implications for organisational culture within regional accounting firms are drawn from this study. O’Shea, Bowyer, and Ghalayini (2022) look at the debate on the future of accounting work. The authors suggest that students focus on their skills in interpreting data and point out that employers seek graduates with highly developed soft skills. The research findings have implications for accounting curriculum development
