Doctoral Consortium Participants
Participants in the Doctoral Consortium, held just prior to the Midyear Conference.

The Auditing Section's 2005 Doctoral Consortium was held on January 13, in conjunction with the Auditing Section's 2005 Midyear Conference. KPMG Peat Marwick funded the Consortium, and was very generous in providing enough funding to allow the Consortium to increase from 40 to 50 participants in response to strong demand for attendance.

Participants enjoyed a program of presentations from a diverse group of outstanding scholars, including Bill Kinney (discussing "Research on Current Auditing Issues"), Mark Penno ("Analytical Auditing: New Directions"), Steve Kachelmeier ("Experimental Economics Research in Auditing"), Jere Francis ("Empirical Auditing Research"), and Mark Peecher ("Behavioral Auditing Research"). The Consortium concluded with a lively panel on issues related publishing, organized by Karl Hackenbrack, and including Mike Bamber, Mark Nelson, Zoe-Vonna Palmrose, and Rick Tubbs. Many of the Consortium presentations are available at:
