Call for Papers – ISAR 2026
30th Annual International Symposium on Audit Research

The 30th Annual International Symposium on Audit Research (ISAR) will be hosted by Maastricht University on 19–20 June 2026 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Maastricht.

Call for Papers
We invite you to submit a paper for presentation at the 30th ISAR. The scope of ISAR is broad and includes research papers and panels that deal with all aspects of auditing and assurance. Papers that utilize any of a broad range of research methodologies will be considered.

Submission Information & Guidelines
Papers and, where applicable, related research instruments, should be submitted electronically in Adobe Acrobat or Word formats through our online paper submission link below by 1 February 2026.

Submitted papers should follow the style guidelines of Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory. Please pay particular attention to the format and length requirements – the body of the manuscripts should not exceed 7,000 words or approximately 20–25 double-spaced pages. Submitted papers should include an abstract and a title page containing the paper’s title and authors’ names and affiliations. Accepted papers will be made available to participants before the conference but will not be published in formal proceedings and thus may be submitted to any appropriate journal for publication.
