The journal of Financial Accountability & Management (FAM) is a reputable journal that started its publication in March 1985. We conduct a retrospective review to analyze the journal's impact and temporal development in terms of publications, authors, affiliated institutions and countries, citation patterns. We shed light on its major theoretical and empirical contribution, conduct a peer-benchmarking analysis and conceptual structure. A thorough database search of Scopus was performed to retrieve FAM publications during the period 1985–2020. The analysis relies on bibliometric techniques and bibliographic coupling, keyword analysis, and content analysis. A total of 625 documents was analyzed using R-Studio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. Using the hybrid approach “bibliometric and content analysis,” we group FAM publications into four main clusters. Our study shows that FAM has significantly experienced a pivotal rise in publication activities and citations, reflecting its impactful presence and relevant contribution to different research fields.
