The Auditors Report

2003 Auditing Doctoral Consortium Program

Thursday, January 16, 2003
Huntington Beach, California

The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association and KPMG are sponsoring the fourth annual Auditing Doctoral Consortium to be held in conjunction with the Auditing Section’s Midyear Conference, January 16–18, 2003, in Huntington Beach, California. The purpose of the Consortium is to stimulate students’ research by exposing them to the very 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 editors of journals in which they will seek to publish. I ask you to help in publicizing the Consortium to your Ph.D. students and in supporting and encouraging their attendance. Students may be at any stage in their program, and there is no limit as to how many students may attend from each university. However, there is a limit on the total number of students who can attend the Consortium, and applicants will be accepted on a first-come basis.
