Welcome to the launch of Ledger: The Salford Journal of Accounting and Finance.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably someone who thinks accounting and finance are about more than just spreadsheets and closing ticks. Good. So do we.
This journal came out of a simple idea that emerging voices of students, early-career researchers, and practitioners finding their feet in publishing, deserve a proper platform. Not a paywall. Not a mountain of bureaucratic hurdles. Just a fair, open, peer-reviewed space to share good work.
And when I say good work, I mean it in the broadest sense. Whether you’re digging into financial reporting puzzles, exploring FinTech’s real-world impacts, looking at microfinance through a critical lens, or connecting finance with sustainability or education, we want to read it. Case studies, theory, empirical research, even the slightly messy interdisciplinary stuff that doesn’t neatly fit elsewhere, send it our way.
We’re hosted at the University of Salford and primarily focused on the work of University of Salford students, but we’re not precious about borders. The only real requirement? Your work should add something thoughtful to the conversation.
I’m looking forward to reading your work.
Best wishes,
Dr. Muhammad Mus’haf khan
