The Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association (APMAA) holds its 2021 Annual Conference (APMAA 2021) at Universitas Trisakti and Udayana University, Indonesia, from 9th (Tuesday) – 11th (Thursday) November 2021. 

The COVID-19 forced us to suspend the APMAA 2020 in Malaysia. In the current situation of limited (or canceled) travels, hosting an international conference is challenging. We cannot hold an ordinary in-person conference. We decided to conduct all parallel sessions of the conference and the Doctoral Colloquium under a hybrid model, i.e., participants join either “face-to-face in Jakarta” or “virtual via online tools.”

 The Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association, founded in 2004, is a “members-first” organization. Our annual conferences and the Doctoral Colloquium are the platform that brings us together (APMAA Annual Conference Policy and Mission). Parallel sessions have always been the center of the APMAA. We have continuously developed conference programs and schedules that were “of the members,” “by the members,” and “for the members.   

Our goal: That is, our members will grow professionally and interact with colleagues in meaningful ways. Our reviewers are not just scrutinizers, as in the case of traditional established conferences, but rather, we are also facilitators. We encourage prospective authors to contribute to and help shape the 2021 conference program through their research abstracts and papers.  

The conference’s theme this year is “Green Swans-based Management Accounting System towards Future-Fit Society.” Today, even leading scholars admit that capitalism is broken. Green Swans is a manifesto for system change designed to serve people, the planet, and prosperity. The proposed  Future-Fit Business benchmark may have the potential to revolutionize the way we understand and report corporate progress toward a sustainable society by shifting our focus from today’s best practice to required practice to be future-fit. 

As in every other year, we provide tracks that encompass a wide variety of areas and accept manuscripts of a very broad range of management accounting subjects. We hope you will submit your work and join us at the APMAA 2021. We very much welcome high-quality manuscripts describing constructive, empirical, experimental, or theoretical work. 

The APMAA 2021 is co-organized by the conference organizing teams both in Indonesia and the APMAA Head Office. In Indonesia, Professor Dr. Sekar Mayangsari (Trisakti University) organizes the APMAA 2021 Conference as the Chair. Professor Dr. Ni Putu Sri Harta Mimba (Udayana University) organizes the APMAA 2021 Doctoral Colloquium. The APMAA Head Office works together with the Indonesian team in preparing and managing the APMAA 2021.  There is no doubt that the 2021 conference will be one of the most impressive meetings in APMAA’s history. We are looking forward to seeing you in-person or on the web during the APMAA 2021 period in November.
