The Financial Accounting and Reporting Section (FARS) of the American Accounting Association is sponsoring the third annual FARS Doctoral Consortium on January 27, 2006 at the Sheraton Midtown Atlanta Hotel at Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta, GA. The Consortium commences at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at noon on Friday, January 27, 2006. The Consortium is scheduled to coincide with the 2006 FARS Midyear Meeting which begins at noon that same Friday and concludes at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 28, 2006. The purpose of the Consortium is to foster doctoral student research by providing a forum in which participants can learn from leading researchers in the field.Doctoral Student Eligibility
The Consortium is open to all Ph.D. Students who have an interest in financial accounting and reporting research and who are also currently a student member of the American Accounting Association. Students may be at any stage in their program, and there is no limit on how many students may attend from each university. However, there is a limit on the total number of students who can attend the Consortium, and applicants will be accepted on a first-come basis.Doctoral Student Registration Information
