The Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association through the generous support of the Institute of Management Accountants is sponsoring the Eleventh Annual Management Accounting Section Doctoral Colloquium on Thursday January 10th, 2008.

The colloquium will be held at the conference hotel in Long Beach, California immediately preceding the 2008 Management Accounting Section Mid-Year Research and Case Conference. A reception will be held on Wednesday evening, January 9th.

The purpose of the colloquium is to provide doctoral students with exposure to current issues and trends in management accounting research.

This year's program includes the following presentations:

Along with the above scholars, the following Resident Faculty will lead discussions with students during the small group breakout sessions:

Sally Widener, Rice University

The colloquium is open to all doctoral students whose research interest is management accounting. Participants in prior colloquiums are eligible and encouraged to participate again. We also encourage doctoral students at any stage in their degree to apply, and will likely have room for everyone who wants to attend. However, space is limited and, if necessary, priority will be given to more senior students (through the 5th year) and those students who have not previously attended.

There is no cost for attending the colloquium, and students attending the colloquium are automatically registered for the conference. In addition, Wednesday night’s stay at the conference hotel will be reimbursed by the AAA for colloquium attendees (Wednesday and Thursday if participants arrange to share a room with another participant).

We look forward to seeing you in Long Beach!
