Springtime in New York!

CALL FOR PAPERS AND REGISTRATION

AIMS AND SCOPE
The 1999 Critical Perspectives on Accounting Conference provides a forum for exploring critical research on emerging issues in accounting and auditing. It brings together interested faculty, professionals, policy makers, accounting students and others concerned with professional and regulatory issues in the corporate, university, government and financial sectors.

Multilingual versions of the web site (French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Australian English) can be accessed through the regular conference web address: http://bus.baruch.cuny.edu/critical/. This is the most up-to-date source of conference information.

Several “Boutique” session streams are planned:

• Critical Doctoral Studies, including career planning for untenured critical researchers (Steve Filling).
• Critical Poetry and Literature, including the Accounting Poet Laureate Competition—cosponsored with the Accounting, Auditing, and Accountability Journal (Michael Meehan).
• Accounting Ethics, cosponsored with the Binghamton Ethics Center (Sara Reiter).
• Human Rights Auditing, cosponsored by Columbia University Center for the Study of Human Rights (Elizabeth Howard and Paul Martin).

The following are illustrative, but not exhaustive, of the symposium themes:
