University of Illinois 17th Symposium on Audit
Research
Preface
This volume contains proceedings from the 17th Symposium on Auditing Research held Woodcliff Lake Hilton in Montvale, New Jersey during September 28-30, 2006. As with prior symposia, invitees included approximately 50 persons, including accountancy professors and practitioners as well as UIUC faculty and doctoral students. KPMG Lip’s ongoing generous support of the symposium series enabled us to bring participants together.
Consistent with tradition, many persons volunteered their time and knowledge to produce a high-quality symposium. Reviewers provided constructive comments, authors and discussants made helpful and thoughtful presentations of their ideas, and participants posed insightful and stimulating questions.
In addition to the eight research papers covered at the event, two special guests provided outstanding talks. Professor Larry Ribstein, who is the Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Chair at the University of Illinois College of Law discussed “SOX, Auditing, and Global Capital Markets,” and Henry Keizer, who is Vice-Chair, Audit, KPMG LLP discussed “Audit Quality in the 21st Century: Challenges and Opportunities”. These two special talks, coupled with the aforementioned presentations and discussions of research papers made the 17th Symposium on Auditing Research a most enriching event.
