CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixth Annual
Midyear Auditing Section Conference

Call for Submissions
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. CPE sessions will be held on the afternoon of January 13. The remainder of 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. You are encouraged to contribute to the program through submissions of auditing/attestation/assurance research and education papers, and special session proposals. Particular emphasis will be given to papers and sessions dealing with educational issues.

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.”

Submission Guidelines
Research papers should follow the style guidelines of Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory. Other submissions should take an appropriate form to permit review of their originality, quality and usefulness. Submissions are not eligible for consideration if they (1) have been published or accepted for publication, (2) were presented at the 1999 AAA Annual Meeting, or (3) were presented at more than one AAA regional meeting or other academic conference. Papers presented at the Research Forum of the AAA Annual Meeting are eligible for consideration. It should be noted that papers accepted for presentation at the 2000 Midyear Auditing Section Conference can also be submitted for presentation at the AAA Annual Meeting scheduled for August 2000.

Abstracts only will be published in the proceedings’ booklet. By December 1, 1999, authors of accepted submissions are expected to provide the designated session discussant with a final printed copy. Instructions for placing accepted papers on the Section’s web site will be included in acceptance letters.

Four copies of submissions must be received by September 3, 1999, to be considered for the program. Early submission is encouraged. Any questions should be addressed to:
