- The 7th Annual Australasian Audit Research Forum will be hosted by the Australian Centre for Audit and Assurance Services (ANCAAR) and the School of Accounting and Business Information Systems at The Australian National University in Canberra on Friday December 4 and Saturday December 5, 2009 (Please note the change of date from early scheduling). The guest speakers are Steve Salterio from Queen's School of Business and Joe Carcello from the University of Tennessee.
- The Annual Audit Research Forums are intended to promote emerging research into the economic and behavioural aspects of the market for audit, attestation and assurance services. Papers spanning a broad range of topics (similar in scope to the ISAR Symposia) will be considered. Issues researched should ultimately be of relevance to professional practice.
The Forum represents an ideal opportunity for established as well as early career scholars to workshop early versions of their research papers, and for PhD students to obtain feedback on their progress to date.

- ANCAAR Wins 2006 ARC Linkage Grant
In partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in
Australia, ANCAAR researchers Professor Keith Houghton, Dr Julianna Ng, Dr
Michael Kend and Mr Chris Ikin have been awarded an ARC Linkage Grant for
a project entitled Keeping Capital Markets Efficient: A National
Strategy on the Future of Auditing. Funding of the $200,000+
project will commence in 2006.
Project Summary:
The lack of confidence in the reliability of financial statement
information is costly to the Australian capital market. The auditing
profession is also struggling to attract and retain skilled
professionals, which can erode audit quality. Using a rigorous research
design to understand business community expectations and concerns, this
project will provide a national forum that informs and directs responsible
national strategy to ensure that high quality audit services are procured
by corporate Australia. Improved audit quality will have the effect of
improving the efficiency and attractiveness of the Australian capital
market and address the skill shortage in auditing.
