The Chartered Institute for Management Accountants (CIMA) hosted its Qualitative Management Accounting Research workshop at the beginning of October 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The aim of the event was to train academic researchers in qualitative research practices for the management accounting field, thereby enhancing the profile and quality of management accounting research.
The workshop was facilitated by renowned accounting researcher Prof Wai Fong Chua from the University of Sydney. It attracted participants from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and South Africa, with the University of Pretoria being represented by Dr Elda du Toit, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Financial Management.
Dr Du Toit reports that it was a highly informative event and she recommends it to any researcher interested in qualitative management accounting research. “It was inspiring to learn from an esteemed researcher and also to learn from other researchers who experience the same difficulties we do in South Africa.”
