Proceedings - University of Illinois Symposium on Tax Research XII
Preface
The Department of Accountancy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign held its biannual Symposium on Tax Research on September 22-23, 2011, featuring the presentation of four research papers followed by academic and practitioners' discussions, as well as a panel session on the reporting of tax uncertainties. Included below are the links to papers and commentaries, as well as two articles that appeared in Tax Notes covering our Symposium.
The Tax Research Symposium Committee would like to thank the presenters, discussants, and panelists for their participation in the Symposium. The Committee also appreciates the support of the Deloitte Foundation whose help made the Symposium possible.
