line-height: 1.2; word-break: break-word; mso-line-height-alt: 17px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">The selected teams will be invited to pitch their research idea to the “sharks” (i.e., a panel of journal editors). After each pitch, each shark editor will give a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”. In those cases where more than one shark editor is interested, a “competitive process” will ensue to achieve the ideal match of pitch to journal. Ultimately, subject to an <strong>agreed </strong>offer by one of the shark editors, pitches presented at event will be invited to execute the research replication project or original project, and publish the resultant completed paper in a future issue of the “winning” shark’s journal. </p> <p style="margin: 0;

margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">A research team at the University of Sydney Business School are undertaking research on the potential for disrupting current processes to verify financial statements (audit). The team are looking for participants for a brief survey on user preferences to alter the model to protect users of financial statements in a different way. A link to the anonymous survey is below. The survey is open now and will close on 30/11/2021. The research team would like to capture your views as a key stakeholder. Please contact Sandra van der Laan (<a href="mailto:sandra.vanderlaan@sydney.edu.au" style="color: #0068A5;">sandra.vanderlaan@sydney.edu.au</a>) at the above email address if you have any queries about the survey.</p> <p style="margin: 0;
