Abstract

In this paper, we discuss three issues of current debate about financial accounting research. Firstly, we discuss the popularity of quantitative methods in financial ac- counting and the research limitations related to this dominance. As second issue, we critically discuss the epistemological approach underlying research methodologies. Fi- nally, we discuss the practical implications of current financial accounting research and the need to search for a real impact factor besides the academic contribution.
