CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANEL PROPOSALS

 

SIGASYS cordially invites both academics and practitioners from all

over the world to present their original research and/or to organize

a panel discussion in the field of Accounting Information Systems.

 

The workshop will focus on a wide range of topics at the intersection

of accounting and information systems. The SIG ASYS Workshop is the

AIS-oriented pre-ICIS conference formerly filled by the International

Research Symposium on Accounting Information Systems (IRSAIS).

The SIG ASYS Workshop encourages interested researchers to get

together and discuss Accounting Information Systems research in

Saint Louis, Missouri, USA just before the start of ICIS.

 

The workshop is particularly interested in papers that link information

and communication technology with accounting or auditing using

theories and perspectives from those fields or from fields like

psychology, sociology, cognitive science, political science,

behavioral science, and economics. High-quality, insightful, and

theoretically sound studies of any type (quantitative studies,

qualitative studies, action research, survey studies, archival analysis,

behavioral/experimental, design science, case studies, surveys,

theory development, etc.) are equally encouraged.

 

Accounting Information Systems (AIS) provide the mechanisms

required to capture and store transactions, to ensure the accuracy,

timeliness, and validity of those transactions, to satisfy the

organization's legal and regulatory requirements, and to inform all

the stakeholders of the economic status of the organization. AIS

provides the vast majority of the data required for operational,

tactical, and strategic decision making. AIS also provide the basis

for interorganizational information sharing, for innovative and

strategic data initiatives, and for external reporting to various

stakeholder groups. Suggested topics include (but are not limited

to): Systems integration, IT governance, risk assessment and

management, value of information systems, information

assurance, global AIS, continuous auditing, auditing end user systems,

internal audit, COSO, CobiT, AS5, forensic auditing, data mining &

business intelligence, querying, ebXML, XBRL, AIS use, data ambiguity,

data quality, AIS design, AIS models, the Resource-Event-Agent (REA)

model, AIS data models, and enterprise systems.

 

All submissions must represent original work that has not already been

published in a journal or conference proceedings (in complete form

- abstract publication is permissible). At least one author for every

accepted paper must register for the workshop and be prepared to

present his or her paper in person.

 

The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Sunday, December
12th,

in Saint Louis, Missouri, prior to the start of ICIS 2010. Participants
should

plan on arriving the day before for an early start to the meeting and

to attend the customary networking dinner that will take place on

Saturday night (December 11th). There will be a single track to maximize

interaction and participation. Workshop participants will be charged a

registration fee. All submissions must be in English and will be

blind reviewed by at least two peers.

 

FAST-TRACKING TO JOURNAL

 

One best paper award will be announced at the workshop, and this paper,

after meeting the required revisions, will be published in the
International

Journal of Accounting Information Systems (IJAIS) at the author's

prerogative.  Authors of selected workshop papers will be invited to
submit

their papers for fast tracking in IJAIS.
