 About Us
Academic researchers gathered at the Asian Management Forum
held in Fukuoka, Japan, on November 3, 2002. They proposed to
create the Asian Management Accounting Association.

Based on the proposal, the Asia-Pacific Management

Accounting Association (APMAA) was founded in 2004. Since
then, members have met annually to share the vision of advancing
various disciplines, research, and practices in accounting.

The association has grown steadily and, today has become a leading
association of scholars inAsia-Pacific
management and accounting.

 2010 Plan: Improving the Visibility of APMAA

An excerpt from Opening Remarks

by Incoming President Prof. Susumu Ueno,
November 5, 2010

APMAA must attract more people to join. We must enhance people’s awareness
by fully utilizing our communication vehicles. To get on the growth track, we
have four vehicles now:
Annual Forums (November since 2002),
Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Journal (Dec. 2006),
APMAA NEWS (Nov. 2009- ), and
APMAA.asia (Jan. 2010-), our web-site
We aspire to double the number of Forum participants within a few years.
We also aspire to attract participants from more countries.
In parallel with increasing members, we will upgrade the quality of our activities.
