Overview: Now in its eighteenth year, the Utah Winter Accounting Conference brings together top accounting scholars. The conference aims to offer both a high-quality program and ample opportunity for informal interaction.

The 2018 event is scheduled for Thursday, February 22nd through Saturday, February 24th in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Paper Submission Procedure: We invite submissions of high-quality, unpublished empirical and theoretical research. As always, we encourage submissions by junior faculty and favor research that will benefit from presentation to our audience.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: To submit a paper, please visit the Utah Winter Accounting Conference website at: http://www.utah-wac.org/2018/submission.html and upload your paper in PDF format. The submission deadline is Saturday, November 4th, 2017. Members of the program committee will review all submissions, and we expect to announce the final program and send out conference invitations in December.
