The reputation of accounting research at Macquarie University has risen dramatically and now rates as number six in Australia behind UNSW, Sydney, Melbourne, Monash and Queensland. This recent ranking was published in a list of the top 24 accounting journals world-wide. The rating is a global ranking with Macquarie University at number 61 in the world.

On a ranking of the top 5 journals Macquarie University is number 3 in Australia behind only UNSW and Melbourne, and number 70 in the world on a list dominated by U.S. universities. (K. C. Chan, C. R. Chen and L. T. W. Cheng (2007) “Global rankings of accounting programmes and the elite effect in accounting research” Accounting and Finance 47: 187-220).

Head of the Department of Accounting and Finance, Professor Chris Patel couldn't be more delighted, "It's a considerable achievement for everyone at the Division of EFS, and a significant step towards Macquarie's strategic plan, "Macquarie @ 50", which aims to position us among the top eight research universities in Australia and among the top 200 in the world".
