Outstanding Auditing
Dissertation Award
Call for Nominations
The
Auditing Section seeks nominations for its annual Outstanding
Auditing Dissertation Award. The author of the dissertation judged
to make the most outstanding contribution to auditing knowledge,
among those dissertations nominated for consideration, will
receive the award. The assessment of what constitutes an
outstanding contribution will be based on, but not limited to, the
following criteria:
- the timeliness and
importance of the problem(s) addressed;
- the creativity of the
research;
- the development of a
theoretical framework;
- the appropriateness
of the research method and analysis; · the potential for
publication in a scholarly journal; and
- the potential for the
results to have an impact on the practice of auditing.
An outstanding
dissertation can be expected to rate highly with respect to all of
these criteria. Selection of the award winner will be made by the
Section’s Outstanding Dissertation in Auditing Committee.
A dissertation must be
nominated by either the person who authored it, or one or more
members of the dissertation committee. Nominations will be
considered to be complete when the following materials have been
submitted:
- a letter from the
dissertation chairperson stating that a dissertation has been
completed and accepted by the degree-granting institution
between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1998 (dissertations can
be nominated more than once);
- five copies of a
nomination letter stating why the dissertation is deserving of
special recognition; and
- five copies of a
paper from the dissertation that meet the criteria for papers
submitted to Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory
