The Auditors Report

Contemporary Accounting Research Conference 2006

The Canadian Academic Accounting Association announces the

21st CAR Conference
Toronto, Ontario — November 3 – 4, 2006
(plus Doctoral Consortium on November 2nd)

Building a Better Understanding of Accounting:
Celebrating Diversity in Accounting Research

The CAR editorial team invites research papers in any area of accounting research, broadly defined (financial, managerial, assurance, and tax) and employing any method (analytical, archival, case, empirical, and survey). We hope to have a set of accounting papers that encompass the major topic areas and methods, which demonstrate the synergy that can be achieved by understanding what other perspectives have to offer, either methodologically or substantively.

Submissions to the conference also constitute submissions to CAR. Therefore, submissions should follow CAR's editorial guidelines. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically using CAR's new online submission and peer review system at: https://www.editorialmanager.com/car/. In addition to submitting online, authors are required to mail one hard copy of the manuscript to the editorial office (address below) with the appropriate submission fee. The submission fees are as follows: $115 for CAAA members and CAR subscribers, and $185 for nonmembers / nonsubscribers (dollar amounts are in Canadian funds in Canada and in US funds elsewhere). Cheques should be made payable to The Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA) and mailed to the address below. Submission fee payments are accepted also by VISA or MasterCard. To authorize a credit card payment, provide the credit card information (cardholder name, number, and expiry date) in a letter and mail it to the address below, or email to: submissionfees@caaa.ca. Submission fees are nonrefundable. Both hard and electronic copies must arrive at the CAR office no later than April 21, 2006.

Papers not accepted for the conference (and submissions that come in after the deadline) will be treated the same as non-conference submissions. Papers accepted for the conference are generally published in CAR; however, the ultimate disposition of each manuscript depends on the normal review procedures employed by the journal.

Authors will be notified of the decision regarding the conference agenda by August 14, 2006 and of the outcome of the editorial process for publication in CAR in the normal course.

Submissions should be directed to:
