Call for Papers

15th Symposium on Auditing Research
Office of Accounting Research
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
October 17-19, 2002

The Fifteenth University of Illinois Symposium on Auditing Research will be held on the Urbana-Champaign campus during October 17-19, 2002. The symposium will be funded by the KPMG LLP Foundation. Authors of papers employing rigorous research methods (including exploratory methods when appropriate) are invited to submit papers. The scope of the symposium is broad, encompassing all aspects of auditing and assurance in all of their phases.

The Office of Accounting Research of the University of Illinois will publish a monograph that contains a synopsis of each paper presented and discussants' remarks. The intent is that such publication will not preclude authors from submitting completed papers to scholarly journals. Authors should follow The Accounting Review format and submit three double-spaced copies of the papers to:

Associate Professor Mark Peecher
Deloitte & Touche Teaching Fellow
Fifteenth Symposium on Auditing Research
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Department of Accountancy
1206 S. Sixth Street
Champaign, IL 61820

Submission deadline: June 15, 2002.
A separate cover sheet should contain the name and address of the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. If applicable, it also should indicate other symposia or conferences at which the submitted paper has been or will be presented.

Authors will be notified during July as to whether submissions have been accepted for presentation at the symposium. Questions about the symposium should be directed to Mark Peecher at (217) 333-4542 or via email at peecher@uiuc.edu.
