Call for Papers
12th Annual Ethics Research Symposium
Hosted by the AAA’s Professionalism and Ethics Committee
August 4–5, 2007, Chicago, Ilinois
The Professionalism and Ethics Committee of the American Accounting Association invites submission of papers for presentation at the 12th Annual Ethics Research Symposium to be held August 4–5, 2007 in Chicago, IL. This Symposium will focus on ethics research and teaching within the field of accounting.
Highly publicized business and accounting scandals have prompted an increased interest in the ethical aspects of accounting practice. Accounting ethics research and education are seen to be important because one of the principal purposes of accounting is to foster the creation of credible and reliable information for purposes of decision-making throughout society. Honesty, integrity and objectivity are among the most important qualities of ethical accounting practice.
The Symposium will take place as a Continuing Professional Education seminar immediately preceding the 2007 American Accounting Association Annual Meeting in Chicago.
