Introduction

ith the global economy limping back to normalcy, and emerging markets reclaiming their
buoyant position, the world financial order is clearly set for exciting times ahead. The heightened
interest evinced by the investing community to the policy signals emanating from the world's

most influential central bankers bears testimony to their growing clout in shaping the new world financial
order. The magnitude of response exhibited by capital markets around the world to the policies framed by
key central banks will set the stage for their collective action going forward.
Besides the macro signals emerging out of policy makers, the movement of markets is also expected to be
determined by the earnings performance of corporate enterprises. While in Indian context, performance
until Q2 FY-13 has been just about satisfactory, domestic and foreign investors will be watching the earnings
report card of India Inc. closely before betting long positions. The euphoria generated subsequent to the
announcement of wave of economic reforms in India is expected to lead to heightened activity from FIIs
with concomitant impact on the strength of rupee and monetary policy announcements by RBI
India as part of the powerful G-20 economic block, might well serve as the financial laboratory for FIIs to
emulate and develop strategies for nations forming the Emerging Market club.
Overwhelmed by the resounding response generated from the maiden International Conference on
Finance & Accounting held on August 3-4, 2012, Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for
Management Development (SDMIMD) takes pleasure in announcing the International Conference on
Emerging Trends in Finance & Accounting 2013 Ideas for Sustainable Corporate Growth to be held at
SDMIMD Mysore on August 9-10, 2013.
The Conference Organizing Committee takes pleasure in inviting our esteemed members from the
academia and corporate fraternity to participate in the deliberations by submitting research papers and
case studies. Executives from the corporate community are particularly encouraged to make submissions
on experiential learning capable of enriching the body of knowledge surrounding the area of Finance &
Accounting.
