Submitted cases must be ready for use in the classroom and include teaching notes. Accounting Perspectives welcomes all theoretical and methodological paradigms. Articles and instructional cases must be written in an accessible style suitable for the journal’s diverse audience. Technical terms, methodologies, and results should be clearly defined and discussed. The editorial board reflects and subscribes to multi-paradigm and multinational perspectives. Accounting Perspectives recognizes the importance of disseminating high-quality educational materials such as cases and other articles intended for instructional use. Such materials must meet relevant quality standards and pass peer review. The teaching notes will be reviewed at the same time as the case and the quality of the teaching notes will be an important consideration in assessing the case. Access to Teaching Notes is a member benefit of the Canadian Academic Accounting Association.
