HASKELL & WHITE CORPORATE REPORTING & GOVERNANCE CONFERENCE SERIES

The Haskell & White Corporate Reporting & Governance conference is intended to provide opportunities to academics for engaging with experienced researchers and networking with the practice community. We especially encourage current and recently graduated PhDs to submit papers. Last year’s conference featured invited academic presentations by Professor Rashad Abdel-Khalik (UI at Urbana-Champaign), V.K. Zimmerman Professor in International Accounting; Terry Shevlin (UCI), Professor of Accounting, and other invited speakers. This year’s conference will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2015 at the Irvine Marriott Hotel in Irvine, California.

The Center for Corporate Reporting & Governance (CCRG) is seeking papers for its upcoming conference. Papers are invited in the areas of accounting, finance, and economics (including, but not limited to, the topics of Auditing, Financial Accounting & Reporting, International Accounting, Corporate Governance, and Ethics).

Each paper submission should include a title page listing the corresponding author's name and email address. All papers in Word or PDF format must be emailed to: Email: ccrg@fullerton.edu

Submissions should be received by Monday, July 6, 2015. All manuscripts are subject to a blind review process.

Email notification of the outcome of each submission will be sent to the corresponding author or authors in August, 2015.

The conference will be held at the Irvine Marriott Hotel in Irvine, California, about 5 minutes from the Orange County Airport (SNA). It is also accessible via flights to Los Angeles (LAX), Long Beach (LGB), and Ontario (ONT) airports. Nearby attractions include theme parks such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Sea World, and the San Diego Zoo. Additional information, registration, and directions are provided on our website.

Following the academic conference, the center will be hosting its 14th Annual SEC Financial Reporting Conference on September 18, 2015. This event is attended by over 500 professionals from the area. Academics are invited to both events at the Irvine Marriott in Irvine, California. The conference registration fees are $225 for academics and $400 for professionals. Registration fees will be waived for doctoral students. The fee covers both conferences, reception on Thursday, September 17, and continental breakfast and lunch on Friday, September 18, 2015.

The Center for Corporate Reporting & Governance (CCRG) at the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business & Economics at California State University, Fullerton was created in the wake of Enron and other high profile corporate scandals and the subsequent passage of the landmark Sarbanes-Oxley Act to address the issues facing businesses and auditors in today's changing financial environment. The SEC conferences feature a wide variety of speakers, including SEC, FASB, and PCAOB officials, corporate executives, board audit committee members, and other financial accounting experts.

Volunteers are needed to serve as reviewers, paper discussants, and moderators. Please send email to:
