Scope of Topics

The scope of ISAR is intended to be broad and includes research papers and panels that deal with all aspects of auditing, attestation and assurance. Papers that utilize any of a broad range of research methodologies will be considered.

ISAR 2010 will coordinate with the World Continuous Auditing & Reporting Symposium [WCARS] to present research that focuses on information technology and continuous auditing. Papers in this area are to be submitted to ISAR as indicated below, and subject to regular review.  

ISAR 2010 will also be preceded immediately by a by-invitation ACCA/IAAER mini-conference in conjunction with the ACCA/IAAER call for academic research proposals  
[http://www.iaaer.org/research ] that support the work of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. During the mini-conference, proposal winners will present their research designs and preliminary results.

Please submit a single document with a title page which includes author(s) affiliation(s), and the contact author's email address.  Accepted papers will not be published in formal proceedings and thus may be submitted to any appropriate journal for publication.
