1st Call for Papers – The Eleventh EARNet Symposium

hosted by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (The Netherlands) September 10th & 11th, 2021 Preceding Ph.D. Workshop September 9th, 2021

Please note: Although we currently anticipate to organize the upcoming EARNet Symposium in Amsterdam, we will modify the format to a virtual setting if needed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. A final decision about this will be communicated before the submission deadline. The European Auditing Research Network, EARNet, founded in 2000, intends to foster research and exchange ideas among auditing scholars and researchers in Europe. Its primary objective is to promote European auditing research, including supporting auditing researchers in their early career. EARNet also aims to contribute to European policy-making in the auditing area. The eleventh European Auditing Research Network Symposium will be held on September 10th and 11th, 2021 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Symposium is established as a major event in Europe for presentation and discussion of auditing research papers. It also provides a forum for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and standard-setters to discuss auditing research and current issues in the auditing environment. The Symposium includes parallel sessions of presentation and discussion of research papers, a plenary panel session, and a keynote speech. There will be a best paper award. All paper submissions must be in PDF, anonymous, and accompanied by a separate Cover Sheet with author information. A Ph.D. Workshop will precede the symposium on Thursday, September 9th, 2021. The Ph.D. Workshop aims to promote high quality auditing research among young European researchers. Feedback on accepted Ph.D. proposals or Ph.D. related papers is provided by experienced international scholars in auditing research. Papers can only be submitted either to the Symposium or to the Ph.D. Workshop! Deadline for submission of papers to the Symposium and papers/proposals to the Ph.D. Workshop is March 31st, 2021. All authors will be notified of acceptance by June 1st, 2021. The conference fee of € 300 (Early Bird Registration until July 15th, 2021) or € 350 (Registration from July 16th, 2021 until August 30th, 2021) respectively, includes coffee breaks, lunches, opening reception, and the conference dinner. Students whose paper is accepted for plenary presentation in the Ph.D. workshop get a conference fee waiver. The Ph.D. workshop itself is free of cost. The conference fee will be adjusted if the format would be modified to a virtual setting.
