Call for Submissions

Fourteenth Annual Midyear Auditing Section Conference

The Fourteenth Annual Midyear Auditing Section Conference will be held January 17–19, 2008 at the Austin Marriott at the Capitol, Austin, Texas.

CPE sessions will be held on the afternoon of January 17. The remainder of the conference will consist of keynote, plenary, and concurrent sessions dealing with a wide variety of contemporary topics related to audit, attestation and assurance practices, education, and research. You are encouraged to contribute to the program through submissions of auditing/attestation/assurance research and education papers (including instructional cases), and special session proposals. In addition, the section will rely on your help in planning and conducting the conference and in providing suggestions for session topics, panels, and/or workshops. Please consider volunteering to participate as a reviewer, discussant, and/or moderator by contacting either of the co-chairs, Professors Roger Martin and Gary Peters.

Research papers should follow the style and submission guidelines of Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, including the requirement to submit separate electronic files containing the cover page and the paper itself. Instructional cases should be in a format similar to that used in Issues in Accounting Education. It should be noted that papers accepted for presentation at the 2008 Midyear Auditing Section Conference may also be submitted for presentation at the AAA Annual Meeting scheduled for August 2008.

Submissions must be received by September 1, 2007, to be considered for the program. Early submission is highly encouraged.

Any questions should be addressed to Roger Martin or Gary Peters via email to AMC2008@walton.uark.edu. See the online newsletter for more information.
