CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

Notable Contributions to the Auditing Literature Award

The Auditing Section seeks nominations for its first Notable Contributions to the Auditing Literature Award. To be eligible for nomination during this first submission period, a work must have been published during the five-year period ended December 31, 1998. The award will recognize a published work of exceptional merit that has made, or has the potential to make, a direct contribution to auditing or assurance research, education and practice. If a work is selected for the award from the nominations made during this first submission period, the award will be presented at the 2000 Midyear Meeting of the Auditing Section.

The criteria that will be applied to assess a work’s contribution to the auditing and assurance literature are:

• The impact of the work on auditing and assurance research, education and practice;
• The potential of the work to be of interest to a large number of individuals concerned with auditing and assurance research;
• The timeliness and importance of the problem(s) addressed;
• The creativity of the research;
• The development of an appropriate theoretical framework; and
• The appropriateness of the research method and analysis.

To be eligible for consideration, at least one of the authors of the published article, chapter, book, or monograph must be a current member of the Auditing Section. Selection of the award winner will be made by the Auditing Section’s Notable Contributions to the Auditing Literature Award Committee.

A work may be nominated either by the author or by any other individual with an interest in auditing research, education or practice. Nominations must include the following materials:

• Five copies of a nomination letter stating why the work is deserving of special recognition; and
• Five copies of the work.
