About Us
The KASU Journal of Accounting Research and Practice
(KAJARAP) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal published twice a year by the
Department of Accounting, Faculty of Management Sciences, Kaduna State University.
Our purpose
KAJARAP is committed to publishing high-quality articles across the areas of accounting
research, and to taking full advantage of contemporary issues as they evolve. Its aim is to
develop empirical accounting studies — work that enriches and strengthens the discipline
rather than restating it — and to disseminate current, original research from academics
and practitioners alike.
The journal's own summary of what it is for is short: promoting cutting-edge academic
research and empirical positions in the accounting discipline. In practice that has meant
corporate governance and financial reporting quality, audit and forensic accounting,
sustainability and environmental disclosure, taxation and tax compliance, and, increasingly,
what artificial intelligence and blockchain are doing to accounting practice.
Open access
Everything KAJARAP publishes is free to read, download and share from the day it appears.
