Are you ready to make an impact on audit quality?
With this Call for Research Proposals for the year 2026 we invite scholars to submit proposals for research projects that advance our understanding of audit quality.
This year’s call combines previous focus areas – audits in the mid-size segment and audit innovation – and introduces audit firm culture as a new focus area.
In addition to these focus areas, FAR remains open to other well-founded proposals concerning audit quality. We are particularly interested in research that integrates proprietary archival data with publicly available sources.
Key deadlines:
- Preliminary Proposal (Stage 1): 2–3 pages by 31 January 2026
- Full Proposal (Stage 2): by 31 March 2026
FAR also welcomes proposals addressing other well-motivated topics relevant to audit quality.
