Workshop on Automating Internal Controls. Please plan to join us the afternoon of January 7, 2010 for an exciting workshop on internal controls. We are collaborating with IMA and Protiviti to conduct the workshop. The workshop is intended to provide an interactive forum for both teachers and researchers in the area of internal controls. The session will include an introduction to business process controls, a case study breakout session for attendees that will focus on the process of identifying controls that could be automated and what that means for a business. We will also have presentations on automating internal controls and continuous monitoring of controls with a discussion of technology enablement and best practices. A second interactive breakout session will focus on developing plans to use the information presented. We are excited to have three experienced and accomplished professionals to conduct the workshop. Presenters include Rosemary M. Amato from Deloitte, and William Thomas and Jose Torres from Protiviti.
AIS New Scholar Information Conference. This is a combination of the 8th annual AIS New Scholar Consortium and a program for Ph.D. students, and those considering Ph.D. programs. We will kick off with a reception on Wednesday evening, January 6th. The consortium is open to all AIS and IS doctoral students and to AIS professors who received their Ph.D. after January 1, 2006. Conference attendees will meet on Thursday, January 7th and will receive advice from seasoned AIS faculty for successfully starting an academic career. The IS section will waive the registration fee for the entire meeting for doctoral students who are members of the IS section. This is made possible by a grant from the KPMG Foundation. Attendees may register for the consortium along with their meeting registration through the AAA online registration system.
Concurrent Sessions. The 2010 meeting will have concurrent sessions featuring both academic research papers and education research papers.
Research Forum. This is an opportunity for authors to discuss their papers in an informal setting.
Strategic and Emerging Technologies Section. The Strategic and Emerging Technologies Section of the AAA will join the IS section in this meeting. Some concurrent sessions will feature papers solely from the Strategic and Emerging Technologies Section.
