Please include “Roundtable” in the cover page of your submission.

Panels

Submit proposals for a panel discussion on topics that would be of interest to conference participants. These submissions are peer-reviewed. Please include “Panel Presentation” in the cover page of your submission.

You must submit the following 2 documents as separate Word/PDF files:

1. Cover Page: Identify the type of submission (Concurrent, Roundtable, Panel, or Research Poster), title, author names, affiliations, contact information for each author, and a designated corresponding author for co-authored papers.

2. Abstract and Paper (no references to authors/affiliations in this document): If submitting for Concurrent Session, Roundtable, or Research Poster, this document should contain the title and brief abstract on the first page, followed by the paper/detailed advanced abstract itself. Detailed advanced abstracts will be considered for presentation in concurrent sessions if specified as a concurrent session submission on the cover page. If possible, authors should have the full paper available by the conference date. Only completed papers (not detailed abstract submissions) will be considered for the distinguished paper award. Roundtable presentations may take a variety of forms: for example, an abstract or partially completed paper. Please specify the issue/problem that you would like to discuss for the roundtable. If submitting for the Panel, this document should contain the suggested panel discussion title and panel proposal. The proposal should include a brief description of why this topic would be of interest to conference participants, and the names, affiliations, and contact information for proposed panelists or poster authors.

3. Availability to review a paper: At least one author on the paper (except for sole-authored papers by students) need to be willing to serve as a reviewer for the NAAS conference. In the submission email, indicate which author(s) are willing to serve as reviewers as well as the areas of interest (e.g., audit, cost, tax, accounting education).

At least one author of an accepted submission must register for the NAAS meeting. Your presentation can be onsite or virtual.
