On the occasion of the second anniversary of the Iranian
Accounting Review Mr. Mohammad Sadeghi, the publication
Manager, has provided a review of our accomplishment in the
past two years. Hebegins with the main objective of the Review
which the editorial note had stated, in the first issue of the Review
- that is - to provide a vehicle for advancement of Accounting
and Auditing knowledge and practice, and to encourage more
scientific work in these fields. Mr. Mohammad Sadeghi
notes that during the
past two years the Review has published 46 articles on theoretical
and practical aspects of accounting. Considering the fact that the
accounting literature in Farsi is sparse, and those which are
available usually provide translation of foreign works, publication
of so many articles -- most of them original research -- renders a
wealth of knowledage which has never been assembled in the
past. A test of the journal's effectiveness in achieving its objective
can be demonstrated in the universal reception of the Accounting
Review by readers and contributors from all over the world.
Among the overseas contributors we should mention:
Dr. Adel Mohammad Zadeh Novinof Kent State University
Dr. Mohsen Sharif of Eastern Michigan University
Dr. Mohammad Javad Abdolmohammadi of Bentley College
Dr. Gary Meek of Oklahoma State University.
Dr. Hamid Pour Jalali of the University of Southwestern
Louisiana
Dr. Don Hansen of Oklahoma State University
Dr. Youness A1izadeh of Southern Cross University (Australia)
Dr. Chris McDowell of Southern Cross University (Australia)
Dr. Colleen Wade of Southern Cross University (Australia)
Mr. Mohammad Sadeghi has furnished a summary of the articles printed
in the first eight issues of the Review. This will give an idea of the
scope of the Reviews scientific work and the various areas of
accounting that we would like to explore in the future editions.
