Proceedings -
University of Illinois 19th Symposium on Audit
Research
Preface
This volume contains e-proceedings from the 19th Symposium on Auditing Research held at the I-Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign, Illinois on October14-16, 2010. Approximately 90 persons, including accountancy professors and practitioners as well as Illinois faculty and doctoral students attended the symposium. The KPMG Foundation's ongoing generous support of the symposium series enabled us to bring participants together.
Consistent with tradition, many scholars 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.
The Symposium featured eight research papers that collectively relied on a diverse set of theoretical perspectives and research methods to improve our understanding of the incidence, antecedents, and consequents of financial-statement fraud as well as our understanding of other pressing audit research issues. To round out the event, a promising neuroscientist gave a luncheon address on the viability of fMRI technology as a lie detection mechanism and a thought leader from audit practice gave dinner address on the current and future states of the audit profession. These addresses and presentations together with the provocative and helpful discussions of the research papers made the 19th Symposium on Auditing Research a most educational and intriguing event.
