2024 Botnia Accounting & Auditing Seminar
Programme
The programme includes research presentations and discussions, a keynote speech, and networking. We are honored to have two distinguished guests: the keynote speaker professor Linda Myers (University of Tennessee, Knoxville) and professor Bjørn Jørgensen (Copenhagen Business School and Hanken).
Each paper is allocated 30 minutes. The author is expected to present the paper for about 15 minutes, and the discussant provides comments and suggestions for about 10 minutes and then there will be some time for questions from the floor. The main venue is the Original Sokos Hotel Royal Vaasa. To encourage as many as possible to participate and thanks to generous financial support from the Peter Wallenberg Foundation and Svensk-Österbottniska Samfundet, there is no registration fee and lunches both days will be provided. There will be a dinner on Monday, August 26th, for presenters and invited guests.
