Event Code of Professional Conduct
Delivery Method: Group Live
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 2023 AAA/Deloitte Foundation/J. Michael Cook Doctoral Consortium (DC) sponsored by the American Accounting Association (AAA) and Deloitte Foundation with a grant from J. Michael Cook. We are planning to hold the DC Wednesday, June 14, through Saturday, June 17, at Deloitte University in Westlake, Texas (just outside of Dallas).
The Consortium provides a forum for examining accounting issues from different research perspectives. Formal presentations, panels and social activities provide opportunities for students to interact with today's leading teachers and researchers and with their peers from other universities. Breakout groups provide opportunities for feedback on participants' ongoing research and presentation skills.
Learning Objectives:
The primary objective of the Consortium is to improve the quality of future accounting education and research by enriching the experience of selected doctoral candidates from U.S., Canadian and international universities.
To attend the event, Ph.D. students must be nominated, selected by AAA, and accept their invitation.
For more details on the registration/payment process, please refer to your invitation email.
To be awarded the full credit hours, you must register your attendance by signing in and out for each session on the event app while onsite.
CPE Information
Attendees can earn 18.4 CPE credit hours.
Fields of Study: Accounting
Program Level: Overview
Prerequisites:
Schools offering a doctoral program with a field of concentration in accounting are eligible to nominate ONE accounting doctoral candidate to participate. The nominee for participation must:
- be a current student member of the American Accounting Association,
- be enrolled in a Ph.D. or DBA program in accounting and have completed at least TWO YEARS of doctoral studies in that accounting program,
- have at least one more year remaining "in residence" at their University after the Consortium, and
- NOT have been a full-time faculty appointee at any rank during the current academic year.
Although not a formal criterion, it is strongly recommended that the nominated student has begun the process of conducting independent research and has passed the qualifying exam. In addition, for program participants from United States institutions, preference should be given to those candidates who are likely to remain teaching in the U.S. after graduation.
Advance Preparation: If there are assignments to complete prior to attending the consortium, they will be sent in June.
Refunds and Cancellations:
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to the AAA by Thursday, June 1. If you have not already made travel arrangements, the DC fee will be refunded minus a $75 processing fee. If you HAVE already made travel arrangements, the DC fee will be refunded minus a $75 processing fee and the cost of your travel. We are asking you to make every effort to submit necessary cancellation requests as early as possible to assist us in planning this event.
