CALL FOR PAPERS

Fourth AIS Research Symposium

February 21& 22, 1997
Phoenix, Arizona

The fourth AIS Research Symposium will again take place in Phoenix on February 21 & 22, 1997. The symposium is sponsored by the Information Systems/Management Advisory Services section of the AAA and the journal Advances in Accounting Information Systems. The symposium will be hosted by Arizona State University West.

The symposium uses a format centering around acceptance of a small number of papers for the main program, permitting time for extensive discussion during each presentation. A forum session has also been added to the symposium venue to enable small group discussion on papers at an earlier stage of development (including advanced stage working papers). All accepted papers for the main program will be published in Advances in Accounting Information Systems at the authors' prerogative. The symposium will continue its tradition of broadly defining accounting information systems research. This includes an interest in the effects of information technology on auditors' judgment and decision making.

Four copies of all submissions should be forwarded to Ken Harmon to be received by September 15, 1996. Authors should follow the style guidelines for Advances in Accounting Information Systems. Submissions should include a cover letter that clearly states whether the authors wish to have their paper included in Advances if accepted, whether they wish to have their paper also considered for the forum session, and/or if they prefer that the paper only be considered for the forum.

Submission deadline: September 15, 1996
Notification of acceptance: December 1, 1996
Registration deadline: December 15, 1996
Revised paper deadline: January 15, 1997

For additional information, please contact one of the symposium co-chairs.
