This special issue focuses on the application of advanced artificial intelligence methods—including deep learning, transformer models, and large language models—to forecasting problems across finance, accounting, management, and economics. The issue seeks to explore how these AI techniques can improve forecast accuracy and support decision-making while examining their theoretical foundations and practical implications.

The issue welcomes interdisciplinary research addressing both technical and ethical dimensions of AI forecasting, including fairness, reproducibility, interpretability, and regulatory considerations. Contributions comparing AI approaches with traditional econometric methods, developing hybrid strategies, or investigating how human judgment interacts with algorithmic predictions are particularly encouraged.

Public sector organisations face competing pressures between financial efficiency and public values such as equity, transparency, and sustainability. These tensions intensify in hybrid governance systems where public, private, and non-profit actors collaborate, and are amplified by digital transformation and emerging technologies. Accounting frameworks are pivotal in mediating or intensifying these conflicts, as calculative devices embed power structures that determine which values become dominant.

This special issue examines how accounting practices and calculative devices influence institutional conflicts between financial imperatives and democratic public values within hybrid governance systems. The call welcomes contributions exploring how calculative tools reshape accountability relations, redistribute authority, stabilise hybrid arrangements, and redefine legitimate accountability across different sectors and contexts.

Appel publié par Financial Accountability and Management. Voir l'appel sur le site de l'éditeur. Fiche de l'appel sur kerostig.

Potential topics

• Conceptualisations of institutional tensions and conflicts in accounting and accountability frameworks
• How hybrid forms of accountability emerge at the intersection of competing logics (financial, professional, social, political)
• The role of accounting, performance measurement, and classification systems in mediating or amplifying tensions
• How specific calculative tools (e.g. rankings, integrated reports, ESG scores, algorithms) enact and enforce particular logics and create new visibilities and invisibilities, thereby reconfiguring power relations
• How hybrid organisations devise novel accounting arrangements to navigate their multiple missions and what types of new hybrid accountabilities are thus constructed
• Negotiating accountability across professional, managerial, and citizen arenas in hybrid and collaborative settings
• The impact of sustainability, legitimacy, and digital transformation on accountability regimes
• Accountability in contexts of vulnerability, marginalization, or crisis

This special issue examines accountability as a mechanism for enabling social change and democratic participation across multiple levels of organization. Rather than reinforcing conventional accountability frameworks, the editors seek to reimagine how accountability practices can support collective, citizen-led initiatives and challenge existing power structures through dialogic, decolonial, feminist, and environmental approaches.

The call welcomes diverse submission formats beyond traditional research articles, including methodological reflections on participatory research, practice notes developed with activists and practitioners, and experimental visual presentations. Contributions should engage with transformative accountability as a situated, relational process that attends to lived experiences and examines transformation from local community practices to large-scale systemic change.

Appel publié par Financial Accountability and Management. Voir l'appel sur le site de l'éditeur. Fiche de l'appel sur kerostig.

Potential topics

• Conceptualising transformative accountability: beyond compliance with traditional practices and the critique of alternatives - what makes accountability transformative?
• Accountability beyond a principal-agent focus: mutual, collective and relational forms, where stakeholders have assumed accountability and created shared stewardship
• Engaging in citizens-led accountability, including, for example community organising and social movements such as campaigns, coalitions and assemblies as sites of transformative accountability
• Prefiguration and the struggle for transformation: How do alternative accountability practices engage in prefigurative practices and politics?
• Relational accountability as transformative: How do dialogic and participatory practices foster transformative accountability?
• Methodologies for engaged, messy research: including approaches to an ethics of care, positionality, co-production in research and navigating risk and harm in such research
• Explorations of how disclosures are interpreted, mobilised or re-appropriated by communities and movements
• Different levels and scales of transformation, from the individual to the systematic or structural and the mechanisms that enable transformative accountability at different levels
• Decolonial, feminist and environmental perspectives that challenge coloniality and neoliberal logics in accountability
• Pedagogies of transformative accountability and transformative learning
• Consequences and limits: when transformative accountability backfires or become performative
• Academic engagement: How can researchers move beyond critique to co-creation of transformative accountability practices? Explorations of the ways that we as academics can engage in impactful and transformative forms of accountability

This special issue examines how accounting and accountability frameworks can address animal flourishing, extending beyond traditional focuses on organisational profitability and human welfare. Drawing on the Capabilities Approach, which emphasises innate freedoms and opportunities for creatures to exercise agency through movement, autonomy, sensory experience, and social relations, the issue explores how accounting might enable these conditions across different animal contexts: domesticated animals in human-controlled spaces, liminal animals occupying boundaries between wild and domestic, and wild animals in conservation settings.

Appel publié par Social and Environmental Accountability Journal. Lire l'appel complet sur le site de l'éditeur. Fiche de l'appel sur kerostig.

Potential topics

• How could accounting help shape conditions for animal flourishing?
• How could we account for or enable the flourishing of individual animals, including those with preferences diverging from species-specific capabilities?
• How would we account for animal flourishing and what forms would these accounts take?
• Where could we find existing examples of accounts of flourishing beyond sanctuaries for rescued animals?
• What opportunities exist for accounting and what does flourishing mean for animals across domestic, liminal, and wild spaces?
• How could multispecies justice inform alternative forms of accounting that recognise agricultural animals beyond inputs and production units?
• What accounting practices could address better justice for domesticated and liminal animals?
• To what extent is flourishing possible for domesticated animals in asymmetrical dependency relationships or liminal animals considered pests?
• How could accounting contribute to conservation efforts recognising individual wild animals alongside ecological collectives?
• How could accounting navigate ethical tensions when working towards simultaneous flourishing of individual animals and ecological collectives?
• What should organisations be accountable for in terms of animal flourishing?
• To what extent are organisations accountable for animal flourishing and how could they demonstrate this accountability?
• What collaborative opportunities exist between companies and other organisations regarding animal flourishing?
• How could accountability approaches resist the human/nature binary and enhance understanding of reciprocal human-nonhuman relations?
• What responsibilities do organisations have in supporting wild animal flourishing and what form could interventions take?

This special issue explores how accounting and accountability can support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities. While SDG 11 addresses urban sustainability broadly, existing implementation has been criticised for its top-down orientation, often overlooking the capacity of local communities to inform behaviour change, generate local knowledge, and create participatory spaces. The special issue seeks to understand how accounting and accountability mechanisms can mobilise local capacities to advance a just transition toward SDG 11 that prioritises community voices and participation.

Appel publié par Social and Environmental Accountability Journal. Lire l'appel complet sur le site de l'éditeur. Fiche de l'appel sur kerostig.

Potential topics

• How diverse theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches can enrich understanding of accounting and accountability's role in advancing sustainable cities and communities
• What accounting and accountability mechanisms are mobilised in cities to adapt SDG implementation to unique local contexts and ensure sustainable outcomes for diverse communities
• The role of accounting and accountability in co-productive and participative spaces which enhance community involvement in achieving sustainable outcomes
• The extent to which emancipatory accounting and accountability approaches can shift power from city elites to marginalised communities in pursuit of sustainable cities and communities
• How conflicts within cities impede sustainability goals achievement and whether accounting and accountability mechanisms can intervene to mediate or resolve such conflicts

Capitalism remains the dominant framework for organising global economic life, yet its promises of prosperity and inclusion have increasingly come under scrutiny. Over the past few decades, the richest 1% have captured more than half of global wealth, while environmental degradation has accelerated at an alarming rate, threatening planetary boundaries. These outcomes have prompted growing calls for more inclusive and sustainable forms of capitalism, leading to the emergence of the concept of Inclusive Capitalism. Inclusive Capitalism seeks to reconcile profit-making with broader societal goals such as environmental stewardship, social justice and economic inclusion. However, its very emergence implies a failure of traditional neoliberal capitalism to deliver on its promises of inclusivity and prosperity. The push for Inclusive Capitalism thus reflects a growing recognition of capitalism's contradictions and the need to rethink how value is defined, measured and distributed.

Appel publié par Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal. Lire l'appel complet sur le site de l'éditeur. Fiche de l'appel sur kerostig.

Potential topics

• Historical and Conceptual Foundations: How has capitalism been historically conceptualised and what role has accounting played in shaping the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion in capitalist systems?
• Accounting and the Language of Inclusion: How is capitalism linguistically constructed in corporate reports, policy documents, and the media? Why and how has the term 'capital' become associated more with financial capital than other forms of capital (natural, social, human, intellectual) and what are the implications of this? How do metaphors and anthropomorphic representations influence perceptions of accounting's role?
• Accounting and Technology: How are emerging technologies shaping accounting practices that either widen or narrow inclusion? How might they entrench exclusion, concentrate power, or reinforce surveillance logics within capitalist systems? How is capitalism represented and contested in digital platforms and social media?
• Critical Perspectives: How do accounting practices reflect and reproduce capitalist logics? What are the tensions between accountability, transparency, and inclusion in capitalist enterprises? Can alternative frameworks (e.g., feminist, indigenous, or social accounting) challenge dominant paradigms?
• Institutional and Policy Dimensions: How can governments, regulators, and standard-setters use accounting to promote more inclusive and responsible capitalism? What are the implications of developments such as integrated reporting, sustainability standards, and ESG metrics?
• Religion, Culture and Norms: How do religious organisations, cultural traditions and societal norms shape accounting practices and in what way do these practices create pathways that can support financial and social inclusion, or, conversely, undermine such goals?
• Management Accounting Practices: How can management accounting systems incorporate multi-capital perspectives? What role do incentive structures and performance measurement play? How do managers change the way they think and act to reflect more integrated and inclusive ways of thinking about value creation?

Valuations permeate nearly every facet of contemporary organisational and societal life. Whether explicitly or implicitly, actors across domains are constantly engaged in determining what is valuable, which values matter and how value is represented, produced and distributed. In this context, valuations refer to the situated and socially constructed processes through which entities, performances, people and practices are evaluated, ranked, compared and legitimised. Therefore, valuations influence not only decision-making and governance but also fundamental perceptions of what is worth preserving, changing or investing in.
