2007 Auditing Doctoral Consortium Program

Thursday, January 11, 2007 — Charleston, South Carolina

The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association, through the generous support of KPMG LLP, is sponsoring the seventh annual Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium on January 11, 2007. The Consortium will be held in Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina in conjunction with the Auditing Section's Mid-Year Conference (to be held January 11–13, 2007). 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.
