Present the Year 2000
International Symposium on Audit Research
Co-Sponsored
by the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association
About
the Symposium
The sixth annual International Symposium on Audit Research (ISAR)
will be hosted by the Maastricht Accounting and Auditing Research
and Education Center (MARC) of the University Maastricht and will
be held on July 7 and 8, 2000. ISAR has been formed from a merger
of two previous audit research symposia: the University of
Southern California (USC) Audit Judgment Symposium and the
Maastricht Audit Research Symposium. Starting in 1997, an
international consortium of universities began taking turns
co-hosting ISAR. These universities are the University of Southern
California, University Maastricht, Nanyang Technological
University, and the University of New South Wales.
Scope
of Topics
The scope of ISAR is intended to be broad and includes research
papers and panels that deal with economic and behavioral aspects
of auditing and assurance. Papers that utilize any of a broad
range of research methodologies will be considered. General topics
of interest include research relevant to practice issues such as
providing assurance services, litigation, regulation and
international matters. Judgment and decision making topics can
include any aspect relating to auditor behavior, such as financial
and social incentives, cross-cultural differences in audit
judgments, risk-based audit planning, decision aids, alternative
models of evidential reasoning and expertise. Economic-based
topics can include national and international issues relating to
regulation of audit and assurance services markets, audit quality,
auditor choice, and auditor service production.
Papers
May be Submitted for Possible Journal Publication and/or

conference will be published in a special issue of Auditing: A
Journal of Practice & Theory. If you wish your paper to be
