2006 Auditing Doctoral Consortium Program

Thursday, January 12, 2006 — Los Angeles, California

The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association, through the generous support of KPMG Foundation, is sponsoring the seventh annual Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium on January 12, 2006. The Consortium will be held in Los Angeles, California at The Hilton Universal City at Universal Studios in conjunction with the Auditing Section's Mid-Year Conference (to be held January 13–14, 2006). 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 journal editors.
