The material the editors have drawn upon from within this circle is no doubt strategic and designed to not only showcase the scholarly attainments of the School of Accounting and Finance but, more particularly, to demonstrate the sustained scholarly influence Gaffikin has exerted over a continuous stream of established and emerging scholars.
