The American Accounting Association requests submissions for a special edition of Issues in Accounting Education to be published in November 2007. Submissions should take the form of case studies addressing international accounting topics.

The case studies may examine any aspect of international accounting. These include, but are not limited to:

• international financial reporting and disclosure issues
• international financial statement analysis
• international taxation issues
• international auditing issues
• managerial accounting for global business operations
• adoption and implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and/or International Standards of Auditing (ISA)
• convergence of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. GAAP
• political dimensions of international accounting/auditing standard setting and regulation
• enforcement of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Case studies submitted for the special issue of Issues in Accounting Education may be applicable for use in an international accounting course or to integrate coverage of international accounting issues in traditional accounting courses. Authors must provide detailed instructor notes and proposed solutions for the cases.

Professor Gary K. Meek will serve as Guest Editor for the special issue, which has an expected publication date of November 2007. Accounting educators are encouraged to submit cases for this issue and to contact Professor Meek for additional information. The special issue is a project of the AAA International Accounting Section and cases will be reviewed by the review board of the Journal of International Accounting Research.

Submissions should be sent to Sue Ravenscroft at Iowa State University. Submissions will be peer-reviewed with an emphasis on clarity and strength of ideas. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2006. Early submission is encouraged. When submitting a paper for the special edition, please indicate in the cover letter that the case is intended for the special issue. All other submission procedures outlined in the journal will apply.
