Traditionally, academic reflections on Islamic economics and finance have relied on a misleading understanding of Maqasid Al-Shari’ah. Much of the current research on the subject dogmatically adheres to the teachings of classical Islamic philosophers and does not appeal to practitioners of
economics and finance who are looking for guidance on practical application rather than academic verbosity.
This book aims to develop a blueprint for Islamic economics and finance by starting at the grass roots of trade and commerce. The majority of the world population, both in developed countries and emerging markets, have serious concerns over financial sustainability for themselves or their children.
Islamic finance is meant to support an economy through genuine transactions and fulfil a duty to achieve a fair and prosperous society. Unfortunately, the industry has failed to fulfil this proposition and converged to conventional systems that do not link to the wider economic priorities of Islam.
This book positions Islamic finance within the economic priorities of Islam while providing a cohesive understanding of Islamic economics and finance in a clear and practical manner. In doing so, the book provides the to-dos and not-to-dos of Islamic economics and finance, and instigates an Islamic
monetary system in which people, not central banks, create money as long as they produce things demanded by other people.
All articles in this book explain how teaching methods or curricula/programs can be improved. Non-empirical papers are academically rigorous, and specifically discuss the institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs or policy issues. Empirical reports exhibit sound
research design and execution, and develop a thorough motivation and literature review, including references from outside the accounting field, where appropriate. Volume 20 includes papers that examine topics: assisting students with career selection via personality assessments to enhance
students’ comprehension of the accounting cycle, incorporating exercises in an auditing course to help students better understand analytical procedures and developing journal lists to assist with departmental decisions. This also includes a special section that examines efforts to integrate
accounting with other core business disciplines in the curriculum. This section includes two papers from instructors who have developed theme-based accounting ethics courses. In these cases the instructor focuses the course on developing wisdom in accounting decisions and development with a
leadership focus.
Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations publishes both
non-empirical and empirical articles dealing with accounting pedagogy. All
articles explain how teaching methods or curricula/programs can be improved.
Non-empirical papers are academically rigorous, and specifically discuss the
institutional context of a course or program, as well as any relevant tradeoffs
or policy issues. Empirical reports exhibit sound research design and
execution, and develop a thorough motivation and literature review, including
references from outside the accounting field, where appropriate. Volume 21 includes papers that examine the
following topics: a commentary and analysis of the new CPA exam, a citation
analysis of Advances in Accounting
Education for volumes 1-15, and an application of methods for reducing writing
apprehension in students. The volume
also includes a special section that focuses on active learning. One article presents a series of active
learning assignments for use in introductory financial accounting classes while
the other manuscript presents the results of a survey of accounting faculty and
their incorporation of active learning techniques in their classes.

Advances in Management Accounting (AIMA) is a publication of quality applied research in management accounting. The journal’s purpose is to publish thought-provoking articles that advance knowledge in the management accounting discipline and are of interest to both academics and practitioners.
The journal seeks thoughtful, well-developed articles on a variety of current topics in management accounting, broadly defined. All research methods including survey research, field tests, corporate case studies, experiments, meta-analyses, and modeling are welcome. Some speculative articles,
research notes, critiques, and survey pieces will be included where appropriate.
Articles may range from purely empirical to purely theoretical, from practice-based applications to speculation on the development of new techniques and frameworks. Empirical articles must present sound research designs and well-explained execution. Theoretical arguments must present reasonable
assumptions and logical development of ideas. All articles should include well-defined problems, concise presentations, and succinct conclusions that follow logically from the data.

Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions stands out from the competition due to its focus on three key characteristics: studies from scholars in different countries, with different research questions, relying on different theoretical perspectives. Such a broad and inclusive approach to mergers and
acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates and metrics. The chapters published in this volume provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars, and help to inform mergers and acquisitions research around the world.
