On behalf of the conference board, this year’s organizing committee:
Dr. Andreas G. Koutoupis (University of the Aegean)

is pleased to announce the arrangements for the 15th European Academic Conference on Internal Audit and Corporate Governance hosted by Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences (Athens, Greece).
The title of the conference is broad, and we welcome submissions from the full spectrum of internal auditing (IA) and corporate governance (CG). The conference will provide a forum to present debate and discuss current issues impacting these areas.
The first day will be dedicated to a forum to enable PhD students to present “works in progress” to experienced academics and practitioners. We encourage students at all stages of their PhD to submit. The main conference will be held on the second and third day.
The accommodation expense will be reimbursed to all the presenters in the PhD day and they may attend
the main conference free of charge (travel expenses will have to be paid by the participants themselves).
Guidelines for submission
For PhD students:
Submitted papers should be classified according to the stage of development. These stages are:
Exploratory papers that address the work that is likely to be carried out in the future. These should be based on a significant literature review, and are likely to come from students who are about to or have recently completed their first year.
Development papers that are based on evidence and are at a stage where they may form a significant
part of a thesis.
Full papers that form a substantial part of a thesis that is near to completion.
For all papers:
The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2017. For that date we accept both abstracts and full papers, though preference is given to full papers. Abstracts and full papers should be submitted as either a Microsoft Word or a rich text file (.rtf), as an e-mail attachment addressed to:
[email protected] with a copy to
[email protected]
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out before 20 February 2017. Full versions of papers are required by no later than 31 March 2017. We would encourage any potential author to contact either the conference chair or the PhD programme chair
if they would like to discuss their ideas before submitting an abstract.
