The Higher Education Accounting Forum Call for Presentations

Do you have a story to tell, a success to share, research to convey? NACUBO invites you to submit a proposal to present a concurrent session at The Higher Education Accounting Forum being held May 20-22, 2012, at the Westin Downtown in Denver, CO.

We are reserving several sessions for campus presentations highlighting an issue or topic of concern from which you feel the audience of accounting managers, controllers, internal auditors, budget directors, CFOs, and others would benefit. Submissions may come from campus administrators or members of the corporate community.

We are seeking presentations on (but not limited to) the following topics:

International business issues - doing business in other countries
Internal reporting and analysis
Internal controls and/or fraud prevention
Financial accounting and reporting
Campus tax issues and practices
Unrelated Business Income Tax
Analyzing and planning the costs of "green" initiatives

In selecting presentations for The Higher Education Accounting Forum, the program committee will be evaluating sessions best suited to the needs of accounting and financial management professionals at colleges and universities. Some key considerations as you prepare your proposal:

Include as much detail as possible about the presentation.
Include 2-3 learning objectives or audience takeaways
Gear the presentation towards an audience at the intermediate to advanced level of understanding, rather than basic treatments or overviews

Guidelines for submission:

Submit proposals online

The deadline for submissions is December 2, 2011. Proposals may be submitted at any time until 11:59 p.m. ET on the deadline date.
