              Announcement
The Journal of the Canadian Academic Accounting
Association announces the
12th CAR Conference
November 1-2, 1997
Submissions are invited for the 12th annual CAR confer­ence,
to be held November 1-2, 1997, in any area of ac­counting,
auditing, or tax research. The submission dead­line
is May 1, 1997. Papers received after that date will be
treated as normal submissions to CAR. Selection of papers
for the conference will be based on a review undertaken by
members of the Editorial Board of Contemporary Account­ing
Research. Discussants for each paper will be selected on
their expertise.
Submission of a manuscript to the conference also consti­tutes
a submission to CAR. Therefore conference submis­sions
should follow CAR's editorial guidelines. These re­quire
submission in quadruplicate, with a cheque payable
to CAR/CAAA in the amount of $50 for members of the
CAAA ($100 for nonmembers), along with any relevant re­search
materials. While acceptance of a paper for inclusion
in the conference is generally followed by publication in
CAR, the ultimate disposition of each manuscript depends
on the normal review procedures employed by the journal.
Authors will be notified of the decision regarding the con­ference
agenda by September 1, 1997. Notwithstanding the
decision on the conference, author(s) will be notified of the
outcome of the editorial process for publication in CAR in
normal course.
Submission should be directed to the CAR office located at
2-32B Business Building, University of Alberta, Edmonton,
Alberta T6G 2R6, phone 403-492-7513, fax 403-492-3325.
Inquiries may be directed to the editor or editorial assis­tant.
