2000 Auditing Doctoral Consortium Program

Thursday January 13, 2000
Newport Beach Marriot Hotel

The Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association and KPMG are sponsoring an Auditing Doctoral Consortium to be held in conjunction with the Auditing Section’s Midyear Conference, January 14-15, 2000, Newport Beach California. The purpose of the Consortium is to stimulate students’ research by exposing them to the very latest ideas from leading researchers in auditing, and by providing opportunities for networking with other Ph.D. students interested in auditing, established auditing researchers, and editors of the journals in which they will seek to publish.

I ask you to help in publicizing the Consortium to your Ph.D. students and in supporting and encouraging their attendance. Students may be at any stage in their program and there is no limit on how many students may attend from each school. There is a limit on how may students in total can attend the Consortium and applicants will be accepted on a first come basis.
