Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Sustainability in Reporting:
There is a growing emphasis on integrating sustainability into financial reporting, with an increased number of studies exploring the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on corporate performance and disclosure practices. - Impact of COVID-19 on Accounting Practices:
Research addressing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on accounting practices, including changes in audit processes, financial reporting, and corporate governance, has surged, reflecting the need for adaptive strategies in times of crisis. - Behavioral Insights in Accounting:
Emerging studies are increasingly focusing on the behavioral aspects of accounting, such as auditor psychology, client behaviors, and the impact of socio-cultural factors on accounting decisions. - Digital Transformation and Accounting:
The influence of digital technologies on accounting practices, including the use of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, is a prominent theme, highlighting the need for accountants to adapt to technological advancements. - Diversity and Inclusion in the Accounting Profession:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Financial Statement Analysis:
There appears to be a decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional financial statement analysis without incorporating broader contextual factors such as sustainability or corporate governance. - Conventional Earnings Management Techniques:
Research specifically addressing conventional earnings management techniques has waned, possibly due to a growing interest in more holistic approaches that consider ethical implications and long-term sustainability. - Static Regulatory Frameworks:
There has been a decline in research centered around static regulatory frameworks, as scholars increasingly focus on dynamic regulatory changes and their impacts on corporate behavior and reporting practices. - Limited Geographic Focus:
Research that primarily concentrates on accounting practices in isolated regions or countries has diminished, with a growing trend towards comparative studies that examine cross-border influences and practices. - Narrowly Defined Audit Practices:
The analysis of narrowly defined audit practices, without consideration of broader systemic issues, has become less prominent as the field recognizes the importance of integrating audit quality with corporate governance and risk management.
