We have the great pleasure to welcome you to the 2022’s Financial Management & Accounting Research Conference (FMARC 2022), which takes place in Limassol, Cyprus. This year the conference features an exciting agenda with three keynote speeches, one special session for PhD Mentoring, as well as 25 paper sessions including 79 high quality-papers.

The Conference will be held at a great venue in the heart of the amazing city of Limassol and the delegates will have the opportunity to enjoy the exceptional service at the venue in addition to the social events, which we hope that everyone will enjoy!

FMARC 2022 could not have been possible without the contribution of the organizing institutions, the Cyprus University of Technology and King’s Business School, and our supporter XM. We thank each very much!

We would like to warmly thank our keynote speakers, Professors Heitor Almeida, Carol Alexander and Jeffrey L.

At the same time, our earnest thanks also go to the members of the Scientific Committee for their invaluable academic input, which has been crucial to put together a very interesting conference program for FMARC 2022.

Special thanks go to the conference supporting staff (Dr Marina Magidou, Mr Gregoris Gregoriou and Ms Anna Emilia Maruska) for providing excellent administrative assistance, as well as to Easy Conferences Ltd for diligent coordination. Last but not least, our wholehearted thanks to all people who have submitted and will present their papers, as well as the ones who have accepted to discuss them and to chair sessions.
