2005 Auditing Doctoral Consortium Program

Thursday, January 13, 2005 — New Orleans, Louisiana

The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association, through the generous support of KPMG LLP, is sponsoring the 6th annual Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium on January 13, 2005. The Consortium will be held in New Orleans, LA at the Astor Crowne Plaza hotel (http://www.astorcrowneplaza.com), in conjunction with the Auditing Section's Midyear Conference (January 14–15). The purpose of the Consortium is to stimulate students’ research by exposing them to the 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. Please publicize the Consortium to your Ph.D. students and please support and encourage 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.

Registration Information

The Consortium is sponsored by the Auditing Section and KPMG LLP.

Registration is free for the Doctoral Consortium. For those students also wishing to attend the Auditing Midyear Conference (January 14–15) that follows the Consortium (January 13), the meeting registration fee is $25.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided during the Consortium. There will be a separate reception for Consortium students and faculty following the Consortium and prior to the buffet dinner provided to all Midyear Conference attendees.
