N2  - The objective of 'Research in Accounting in Emerging Economies' is to raise the level of interest in the specific problems of accounting in emerging economies; and increase awareness of real issues, so that accounting in these countries will not just be seen as a matter of copying what is done in the industrialised countries. It is intended to provide an authoritative overview of accounting research and progress in emerging economies
