The Qualitative Accounting Research Symposium (QARS) showcases a niche area of research in the accounting field. Qualitative accounting scholars comprise a dynamic and growing component of the scholarly community. This symposium serves as a platform to unite the community, enable collaboration amongst its members, and add legitimacy to its research output. We are determined to develop and share ideas in a respectful manner and we do not tolerate personal attacks. Participants are encouraged to keep their feedback constructive.
We acknowledge and welcome the diverse population of academia and consider all active participants as valued contributors. We strive to achieve, amongst others, gender, racial, and visible minority groups representation and balance throughout the conference, visible in the organizing committee, speakers, panelists and moderators. In alignment with the University of Guelph’s Anti-Racism Policy, we affirm the fundamental principle of equality to all peoples and recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of every person, as well as our responsibility and commitment to provide for equal rights and opportunities without discrimination.
