Dear APMAA Members and Colleagues,
　

As we move into August, we hope you're having a productive and successful year. We are writing to you today to provide an update on the APMAA 2025 Annual Conference.
　

APMAA 2025 Annual Conference in Malaysia
　

We are pleased to report a strong response to our call for submissions, which opened on May 1. This year, we have received over 70 submissions for the Academic Paper Sessions—an increase from the 63 submissions for the 2024 conference. Additionally, we have received eight submissions for the Doctoral Colloquium Sessions. 
　

The review process is now well underway, with more than 50 peer reviewers evaluating the submissions. Each submission has been assigned to two reviewers who are examining both the academic formatting and content. Our review process is a collaborative "catch-ball" between authors, reviewers, and the gatekeeper. We have requested that all reviewers complete their reviews within two weeks to give authors ample time to revise their papers.

We are thrilled to invite you to the APMAA 2025 Annual Conference, which will be held in a hybrid format at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, Malaysia, from October 24 to 27. Under the theme "Management Accounting in Dynamic, Changing Business Landscapes," this year's conference will explore the evolving role of management accounting in driving resilience, sustainability, and innovation.
　

 The conference will feature cutting-edge research in broad accounting areas, thought-provoking discussions, and exceptional networking opportunities. We encourage you to actively participate in this significant event and look forward to welcoming you to Malaysia!
