2008 AFAANZ Doctoral Consortium

2-4 July 2008
Sydney, Australia

To be held immediately preceding the AFAANZ Conference, the Doctoral Consortium will benefit doctoral students at the early stages of their PhD enrolment. It is designed to expose students to a variety of theories and perspectives that should influence their choice of dissertation topic, and provide guidance for the initial theory development.

The eighth Doctoral Consortium is being planned for the year 2008. It will be held immediately preceding the AFAANZ Conference. The consortium will provide the students enrolled in a PhD the opportunity to meet and discuss current research in accounting, finance and other business related subjects, with academics that are acknowledged leaders in the field.

Heads of Departments will be asked to provide names of PhD candidates whom they may wish to nominate as doctoral participants. Nominations will be formally called for in mid January with a closing date of mid March. Nominees must be members of AFAANZ. The consortium will cater for students developing dissertations in both accounting and finance and other business related subjects and visiting faculty will be selected based on the research profile of doctoral participants. For administrative enquiries please contact the AFAANZ Office. Any academic enquiries should be forwarded to Professor Ian Eggleton or Dr Sue Wright.
