About the
Symposium:
The seventh annual International Symposium on Audit Research (ISAR) will be
hosted by the Centre for Accounting and Auditing Research (CAAR) of the Nanyang
Technological University June 28 and 29, 2001. ISAR has been formed from a
merger of two previous audit research symposia: the University of Southern
California (USC) Audit Judgment Symposium and the Maastricht Audit Research
Symposium. Starting in 1997, the University of Southern California, University
Maastricht, Nanyang Technological University, and the University of New South
Wales began co-hosting ISAR.
Scope of Topics:
The scope of ISAR is broad and includes research papers and panels that deal
with economic and behavioral aspects of auditing and assurance. Papers that
utilize any of a broad range of research methodologies will be considered.
General topics of interest include research relevant to practice issues such as
providing assurance services, litigation, regulation and international matters.
Judgment and decision-making topics can include any aspect relating to auditor
behavior, such as financial and social incentives, cross-cultural differences
in audit judgments, risk-based audit planning, decision aids, alternative
models of evidential reasoning and expertise. Economic-based topics can include
national and international issues relating to regulation of audit and assurance
services markets, audit quality, auditor choice, and auditor service
production.
