Theme: Is Accounting Education Responsive to the Rapidly Changing Global Environment?

Accounting educators, students, and professionals are invited to submit completed manuscripts and ideas for panels or workshops, for presentation at the AAA's 2006 Annual Western Region Meeting. The 41st annual meeting will be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Portland, Oregon. Academics and professionals from the Western Region, as well as those from other regions and overseas, are welcome to participate. CPE credit will be available. Awards for Best Research Paper and Best Education Paper are a plaque and $500. Submissions must be received by the deadline to be eligible for these awards.

The deadline for paper submissions and panel/workshop proposals is February 6, 2006. Details and updates will be posted periodically on the Region's Internet home page (http://aaahq.org/western/western.htm).

Authors who wish to have their papers considered for the meeting should email their completed papers to the Program Chair, Dr. Jeanne Yamamura by February 6, 2006. Papers will be blind refereed. Authors of accepted papers will have the choice of publishing either the paper or an abstract in the meeting proceedings (CD-ROM). Authors of accepted papers will be required to submit a short abstract for publication in the conference program. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the meeting and present the paper. For consistency and as an aid to reviewers, papers should use the Accounting Review style. Papers should be double-spaced, using a 12-point type, and have 1" margins all around. Pages should be numbered and include a cover page indicating the name, title, affiliation, complete postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and fax number of the author(s). Except for the title, none of this information should appear anywhere else in the paper. The cover page should also include at the bottom an indication of which section of the AAA best matches the topic of the paper (e.g., ABO, Auditing, Financial Reporting, or Teaching & Curriculum). Sections are listed at the AAA's web site.

Those interested in conducting workshops or giving panel presentations should submit their proposals to the Region's President, Dr. Benjamin Tai, by February 6, 2006. A half-day plant tour to Boeing Company in Portland will be held in the afternoon on Thursday, April 27. Paper and panel presentations will take place in 90-minute concurrent sessions all day Friday, and until noon on Saturday.
