CALL FOR PAPERS

International Accounting Research Conference

Co-Sponsored by
The American Accounting Association
and the KPMG Peat Marwick Foundation

The American Accounting Association and the KPMG Peat Marwick Foundation are co-sponsoring a second conference on research addressing international accounting issues. The conference will be held at KPMG Peat Marwick's Quality Institute in Montvale, New Jersey, U.S.A. on Friday and Saturday, March 28 & 29, 1997. The conference agenda will include presentation and discussion of five competitively chosen research papers and a panel discussion of a current topic in international financial reporting.

Papers are invited in all areas of international accounting, including international auditing, tax, financial reporting and managerial accounting. Papers using all research approaches, including analytical, experimental, field study and archival-empirical approaches, will be considered. The rigor and relevance of the research will be the main criteria in selecting papers for the conference. While copies of all working papers accepted for the conference will be mailed to registrants, no formal proceedings will be published. Papers must be written in English, and must not be under consideration for publication or accepted for publication. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of the paper only, and authors should follow the "Instructions to Authors" given in The Accounting Review for formatting. Please mail (do not fax) three copies of each paper for review. Only completed manuscripts will be accepted for review; please do not submit abstracts. All papers will be blind reviewed by two reviewers. All travel, lodging and meal expenses for one author of each accepted paper will be reimbursed through the sponsorship of the KPMG Peat Marwick Foundation.

To be considered, papers must be received (not postmarked) by October 15, 1996. Papers received after this date will not be considered. Authors will be notified of the decision on their papers by January 15, 1997. Send papers to:

Professor Gary K. Meek
