AIS Doctoral Candidates

Working on a dissertation is hard work. It takes a serious time commitment, not only from the doctoral candidate, but also from committee members. For doctoral candidates looking to work on an Accounting Information Systems (AIS) dissertation, finding committee members with AIS expertise in their department can be challenging. That is why this site was created in order to encourage and match AIS doctoral candidates with senior AIS scholars who would be willing to provide the time commitment necessary for a successful dissertation process.   

The scholars listed below are willing to help serve on dissertations committees, subject to having expertise in your area and not being committed to too many committees.  If you are at an institution that cannot fully support your AIS work, email one of the people below with information about your dissertation and how you want them to help.

Letter from the President

Greetings AIS Members,
I want to thank everyone that helped make the AIS Midyear Meeting in Orlando a great success! I especially want to thank Bachman Fulmer, David Wang, Kim Church, and Margaret Christ.

The meeting kicked off with an awesome New Faculty Consortium led by Margaret Christ.  Margaret put together a fabulous program.  The program included advice about becoming an effective and engaging AIS professor, producing innovative and rigorous AIS research, and a panel on early career advice.  The sessions were lively and engaging!   Thank you, Margaret, and all those that volunteered to present at the consortium.

The Power BI workshop on Thursday afternoon received rave reviews.  Thank you to Guido Geerts for once again sharing his time and talent with faculty looking to add some data and analytics to their curriculum. Thanks also to Kim Church and Margarita Lenk for helping Guido in the workshop...
