2016 International Accounting Section Midyear Meeting

2016 Midyear Meeting

and Ph.D./New Faculty Consortium

International Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association

jointly with International Association for Accounting Education and Research (IAAER)

 

Hotel Le Meridien

New Orleans, Louisiana

February 18-20, 2016

The 22nd Midyear Meeting and 12th Ph.D. / New Faculty Consortium of the International Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association will be held jointly with the International Association for Accounting Education and Research (IAAER) in New Orleans, Louisiana at Le Meridien New Orleans Hotel during February 18-20, 2016. The city of Jazz and Mardi Gras, New Orleans offers a great destination for music, food, and warm weather.

The meeting will be co-chaired by Elaine Henry (Stevens Institute of Technology), Wendy Wilson (Texas Christian University), and Gina Rosa (University of New Orleans). The conference program will start on Thursday, February 18, 2016, with the doctoral student/new faculty consortium, coordinated by Hollis Skaife (University of California, Davis), and a CPE workshop. A junior faculty mentoring breakfast will occur on Saturday morning providing recent PhD graduates an opportunity to get feedback on a current project from a senior mentor. The conference will continue with plenary sessions, panels, concurrent sessions, and other events through Saturday including an editors’ panel. There will be receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings and a farewell social on Saturday evening.

You are invited to contribute to the program through submissions of international accounting research papers, cases and/or panel proposals. We encourage you to volunteer to serve as a reviewer, discussant, and/or a moderator.

This year's meeting will feature a plenary session with a panel of speakers from a number of the most influential organizations in international accounting, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB.)

In addition, a research plenary session will showcase two international accounting research papers that have been submitted to the Journal of International Accounting Research (JIAR). The authors will have the opportunity to present their work to the entire audience of the conference (no parallel sessions will be run during that time slot), benefit from the comments of a senior discussant, and have a "fast-track" review at JIAR. The papers accepted at the plenary session are expected to be published in JIAR; however, the ultimate disposition of each manuscript depends on the normal editorial review process of the journal and the desires of the authors. JIAR is a premier journal in the field of international accounting continuously published for the past 13 years, and recognized as quality "A" journal by the Australian Business Deans' Council.
