The EAA aims to link together the Europe-wide community of accounting scholars and researchers, to provide a platform for the wider dissemination of European accounting research and to foster and improve research.

Since its establishment in 1977 the EAA has had a major impact on the accounting research community throughout Europe. Gone are the days when only a few accounting academics knew their colleagues in other countries. The EAA has established a secure and developing series of networks that bring together all accounting researchers interested in a wider European conception of their subject and research interests.

The Association meets its objectives in the following ways:

• Annual Congress
• European Accounting Review
• Doctoral Colloquium
• Workshops
• Membership Directory
• Observations from members
