About the Symposium
The annual International Symposium on Audit Research (ISAR) will be held in Sydney, July 1 and 2, 2002. ISAR has been formed from a merger of two previous audit research symposia: the Maastricht Audit Research Symposium held annually in Maastricht, The Netherlands, since 1991, and the University of Southern California (USC) Audit Judgment Symposium held annually since 1982. Starting in 1997, an international consortium of universities began taking turns in co-hosting the ISAR. These universities are the University of Southern California, Maastricht University, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and The University of New South Wales.

Scope of Topics
The scope of the ISAR is intended to be broad and includes research papers and panels that deal with economic and behavioral aspects of auditing, and utilize any of a broad range of research methodologies. General topics of interest include research related to assurance services, corporate governance, and the various international aspects of auditing. Economic-based topics can include issues relating to regulation of audit markets, audit quality, auditor choice, and auditor service production. Behavioral topics can include any aspect relating to auditor cognition and judgment, such as financial and social incentives, cross-cultural differences in audit judgments, risk-based audit planning, decision aids, and expertise.

Submission of Papers
To be eligible for presentation, manuscripts should follow the “Instructions to Authors” published in AUDITING: A Journal of Practice & Theory. Please pay particular attention to the format and length requirements—manuscripts should not exceed 7,000 words or approximately 18–25 double-spaced pages including tables, figures, and references. Accepted papers for 2002 will not be published in a formal proceedings and thus may be submitted to any appropriate journal.
