Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for a growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behaviour are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity.

Format and Style
Manuscripts are to be typewritten double spaced on one side (8.5 x 11 or A4). Authors should include four copies of the manuscript and include:


• an abstract not exceeding 150 words - it should summarize the purpose, methodology, and major conclusions of the article;
• 10 key words or phrases that can be used for indexing purposes.
• The cover page of the manuscript should include the title, the authors name(s), position and institutional affiliation, and any acknowledgements.
• Only the title should appear on the next page of the manuscript and on the abstract.
• Footnotes, identified in the text by a numeral that is superscripted, should not include literature citations, and should be listed at the end of the paper, before the bibliography.
• Authors should write in a non-sexist and non-discriminatory style, such as using "her/him"; alternately or "s/he".
• Literature citations in the text should include the authors' names, the year of publication, and the specific page numbers if required (e.g. Mickey & Donald, 1968, p.24). For more than two authors, the citation should be abbreviated as follows: (Kramdon et al., 1988, p.1). Multiple citations of the same author(s) in the same year should be distinguished in the text (and in the bibliography) by a, b, c, etc following the year of publication.
• The bibliography should only include references cited in the text and should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first author. Full bibliographical details are required. The following style is required for: 1. articles; 2. books; 3. citations from edited books; 4. translated books; 5. reference to a report. For example:

Charts, Diagrams, Figures and Tables
These should all be called figures, numbered consecutively in arabic numerals, with a brief title in capitals and labelled axes. The text should indicate where the figure is to appear. Each figure should be submitted on a separate sheet of paper and be suitable for direct reproduction. Tables should be numbered consecutively and independently of figures. Tables should be labelled with arabic numerals, a brief descriptive title, and headings down and across. The text should indicate where each table is to appear. Each chart, diagram, figure and table should be submitted on a separate sheet of paper and be suitable for direct reproduction.

Proofs and Copies
Page proofs should be checked by the author and returned to the publisher within 48 hours. Only printer's typographical errors should be corrected at this stage; any substantive changes other than these will be charged to the author. The Editors reserve the right to publish a paper without the author's own corrections in cases of undue delay in returning the proofs.
