[AISWorld] 5th International Symposium on Accounting Information Systems CFP

[Cheryl Dunn]

Announcement and Call for Papers and Discussants

The Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships, Department of
Accounting, University of Melbourne, Australia is pleased to announce the
fifth International Symposium on Accounting Information Systems (ISAIS)
commencing in the morning of Wednesday July 2, followed by a half day on
Thursday July 3 (http://fbe.unimelb.edu.au/accounting/caip/isais/). The
Symposium is strategically positioned to follow GMARS June 26-27 (UNSW)
(see http://www.gmars.org/) and immediately precedes the annual Accounting
and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand conference July 6-8 in
Auckland (see http://www.afaanz.org/conferences).
The intent of ISAIS is to provide a global forum for Accounting Information
Systems (AIS) researchers to discuss and critique leading edge research in
the field. ISAIS is a unification of the AIS Research Symposium (AISRS),
the European Conference on AIS (ECAIS), the Asia-Pacific Research Symposium
on AIS (APRSAIS), and the International Research Symposium on Accounting
Information Systems (IRSAIS). The International Symposium on Accounting
Information Systems (ISAIS) is rotated annually between the University of
Central Florida (USA), Tilburg University (The Netherlands) and University
of Melbourne (Australia).
The Symposium will include a keynote address, research presentations and
one or more panel sessions. Each presenter will have 25 minutes to present
their research, followed by a discussant (15 minutes) and a further 15
minutes will be allocated for questions and discussion. The emphasis will
be on a high level of interaction, discussion and debate in a friendly and
supportive atmosphere. There will be two awards: one for Best Paper and one
for Best Discussant.

Call for Papers
This is a call for papers for ISAIS to be held July 2-3 2014 at the
University of Melbourne, Australia.

ISAIS is particularly interested in interdisciplinary papers that draw from
accounting, psychology, cognitive science, behavioral science, economics,
computer science, and/or information technology. High-quality, insightful,
and theoretically sound studies of any type (action research, archival
analysis, behavioral/experimental, design science, surveys, theory
development, etc) are encouraged.

Consistent with the objective of the Symposium to provide opportunities for
interaction and debate on leading AIS research with both academics and
practitioners, both early papers and papers closer to publication are
welcome. All submitted work must however be submitted in the format of a
completed paper, and represent original work that has not already been
published or accepted for publication in a journal. At least one author for
every accepted paper must register for the Symposium and be prepared to
present their ideas in person.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: AIS development,
internal control developments, strategic information systems, cultural
influences on AIS, performance evaluation, decision aids, business process
modeling, audit and assurance regarding AIS, continuous auditing and
reporting, IT auditing, enterprise resource planning, knowledge management,
and XBRL.
Paper Submission Deadline is February 28, 2014. Earlier submissions are
encouraged.
