Sixth Annual Midyear The sixth Annual Midyear Auditing Section Conference and the first Auditing Section Conference in the 21st century will be held in Newport Beach, California, on January 13-15, 2000. The conference will consist of keynote, plenary and concurrent sessions dealing with a wide variety of contemporary topics related to audit, attestation and assurance practices, education and research. In addition, the inaugural Auditing Section Doctoral Consortium will take place on January 13. More information on this consortium is included in this newsletter. There will also be a CPE session on the afternoon of January 13. Marilyn Greenstein of Lehigh University and Tom McKee of East Tennesse State University will present “E-Commerce: Implications for Assurance Education and Research.” The conference will be held at the Newport Beach Marriott. After a long, thought-provoking day of meetings, Newport Beach is a great place to shop in the comfortable outdoor settings provided by Fashion Island (an upscale shopping center just across the street from the hotel) or to relax on California’s sunny beaches. Plus, it’s only 20 minutes away from Disneyland—“the happiest place on earth.” |
