In order to attend, students must be nominated by their doctoral-granting schools. The nomination deadline will be Monday, October 3, 2022. To encourage AAA doctoral student member attendance, FARS does not charge a registration fee to attend the Doctoral Consortium. However, individual participants are responsible for their own transportation, accommodation, and other expenses. In addition, if participants are interested in attending the FARS Midyear Meeting, they should register for, and pay related fees to attend, the FARS Midyear Meeting. There are a small number of need-based scholarships available from FARS. Along with the Consortium nomination, the doctoral program chair (not the PhD student) should submit a letter of interest in one of these scholarships to Rachna Prakash, Scholarship Committee Chair, rprakash@olemiss.edu. The letter should include written justification of the respective Consortium candidate’s need (e.g., by estimating the expected travel costs and attesting to the amount of the candidate’s annual travel budget). Scholarship funds will then be allocated by a separate scholarship committee. In prior years, demand has exceeded capacity. Nominating a student does NOT ensure participation in the 2023 FARS Doctoral Consortium. Nominations will be reviewed, and applicants will receive notification of being accepted or waitlisted on or about Monday, October 17, 2022. Student Eligibility The Consortium is open to accounting Ph.D. students from doctoral-granting institutions who have a primary interest in financial accounting research. Students may be at any stage in their program, although students in the second or third years of doctoral study will receive the greatest benefit. We expect to be able to accommodate one student per university. However, program chairs may nominate a second student and rank order the two students on the nomination form. Second-ranked students will be considered as space permits. Students who have previously attended the consortium are eligible to be nominated for this year’s consortium. President's Letter Dear FARS Section Members, Welcome to the 2025–2026 academic year! I am excited to serve as your Section President and to continue the strong tradition of scholarship and community that makes FARS such a special home within the AAA. I would like to thank John Jiang for his thoughtful leadership this past year. Under his guidance, the section had a successful year filled with high-quality research presentations, thoughtful discussions, and meaningful connections. The Annual Meeting last month was also a great success, with 475 submissions. I am grateful to all of you who contributed by presenting, reviewing, moderating, or attending. Looking ahead, I am pleased to share that our 2025–2026 committees are already staffed and ready to get to work. Thank you to those of you who volunteered to serve—your time and effort are critical to advancing the section’s mission. Continue Reading...
