The 24th Midyear Meeting and 14th Ph.D. / New Faculty Consortium of the International Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association will be held in Long Beach, California at the Westin Long Beach Hotel from January 18-20, 2018.
The meeting will be co-chaired by Stephani Mason (DePaul University) and Gia Chevis (Baylor University). The conference program will start on Thursday, January 18, 2018, with the doctoral student/new faculty consortium coordinated by Elizabeth Gordon (Temple University), 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. There will be receptions on Thursday and Friday evenings.
You are invited to contribute to the program through submissions of international accounting research papers, cases and/or panel proposals. We also 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 influential organizations in international accounting.
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 14 years, and recognized as quality "A" journal by the Australian Business Deans' Council.
