2008 Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium
In Conjunction with the
Fourteenth Annual Auditing Section Midyear Conference
January 17, 2008 — Sheraton Austin Hotel — Austin, Texas
The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association, through the generous support of KPMG LLP, is sponsoring the eighth annual Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium on January 17, 2008. The Consortium will be held in the Sheraton Austin Hotel in Austin, Texas in conjunction with the Auditing Section's Midyear Conference (to be held January 18-19, 2008). 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.
Registration Information
The Consortium is sponsored by the Auditing Section and KPMG LLP.
- The Consortium is open to all Ph.D. students who have an interest in auditing research. Students may be at any stage in their program, and there is no limit to the number of students that may attend from any one 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. Please register early.
- Students who attend the Consortium will receive up to two years of complimentary membership in the Auditing Section and the AAA.
- Breakfast and lunch will be provided during the consortium.

For those students who would like to attend the Auditing Section Midyear Meeting (January 18-19) that follows the Consortium (January 17), the midyear meeting registration fee is $25. Deadline for consortium and conference registration is December 17. Visit the Auditing Section website (http://aaahq.org/audit/index.htm), complete the PDF registration form, and fax it to 941-923-4093.

- The deadline for hotel reservations is December 17. We cannot guarantee that any additional rooms will be available in the hotel once our block of rooms is sold out, even if the block is sold out before the cut off date.
- If you are unable to attend the meeting, be sure to cancel hotel reservations to avoid a cancellation penalty.
- There is expected to be a wait list. So, please cancel your registration if you are not able to attend. This will allow another student who is wait-listed to attend the consortium.
