2019 Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium
“Auditing Scholarship”
Thursday, January 17, 2019
Omni Nashville Hotel • Nashville, TN
Thank you to KPMG Foundation for generously supporting the Auditing Section Midyear Meeting and Doctoral Consortium!
The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association, through the generous support of KPMG LLP, is sponsoring the Annual Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium is Thursday afternoon, January 17, 2019. The Consortium will be held at Omni Nashville Hotel in Nashville, TN in conjunction with the Auditing Section's Midyear Conference (to be held January 18-19, 2019). The purpose of the Consortium is to stimulate students' research by exposing them to the latest ideas from leading researchers in auditing, and by providing opportunities for networking with other Ph.D. students interested in auditing, established auditing researchers, and journal editors.
Doctoral Student Eligibility
All Ph.D. students who have an interest in auditing research are eligible to apply

Hotel Accommodations and Information
The Consortium runs from noon until 5:00 pm and is followed by a reception. Students who attend the Consortium are eligible for the conference rate at the Omni Nashville Hotel on Wednesday and Thursday nights (January 16-17).
Students should make their reservations directly with the hotel. The deadline for hotel reservations is December 19 but we cannot guarantee that any additional rooms will be available in the hotel once our block of rooms is sold out, even if the block is sold out before the deadline, so we advise making your hotel reservations early. If a student is unable to attend the meeting, the hotel reservations must be cancelled in advance to avoid a penalty.
Consortium Cancellation Policy
Students must cancel their Consortium registration if unable to attend. This will allow another student who is wait-listed to attend the Consortium. To cancel a registration, please notify, via email, the AAA (info@aaahq.org) and Susan Scholz (sscholz@ku.edu) as early as possible.
