Research in the field of goodwill and corporate governance accounting: a synthesis bibliography in the 2011-2014 academic literature

We present a quanitative study regarding the recent research in the field of goodwill and corporate governance accounting. We focus on the research done in 2011-2014. This research contributes to the existing one, being a synthesis of the literature review. We have included many important academic journals as part of the survey, with the goal to find a trend within the academic community for the publishing of scientifc papers within the boundries of goodwill accounting and corporate governance. We find that the existing body of scientific literature acts as a deterrant for the study of existing themes and it is used instead as a basis for new and innovative discourses beyond the scope of the previous studies..
