Celebrating Richard Macve

Birmingham Business School is delighted to host a special Festschrift in honour of Professor Richard Macve, recognising his extraordinary contributions to accounting history, theory, and practice. As a recipient of BAFA’s Distinguished Academic of the Year award for 2009, and a chartered accountant whose scholarship has influenced generations, Richard’s work continues to shape how we understand the evolution and roles of accounting in society. 

Professor Macve joined the London School of Economics and Political Science over fifty years ago and became Emeritus Professor in 2011. His work spans intellectual traditions and international contexts, including significant collaborations in China. His honours reflect the breadth of his impact, from being named an Honorary Research Fellow at UIBE Beijing and an Honorary Professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, to being made a Life Member of the US Academy of Accounting Historians.

There is no charge to attend the conference, but we do require your pre-registration to attend. To register, please email Dr Ann‑Christine Frandsen at a.frandsen@bham.ac.uk. We kindly ask you to register prior to Friday 3^rd April if possible.
