We invite scholars, policy makers, and practitioners to submit research papers for presentation at the 1st Edwards Symposium on Corporate Governance. Theoretical and empirical papers in all areas of corporate governance with implications to finance, accounting, or strategy, including papers with an international corporate governance focus, are welcome. There is no charge for submission, and all submitted papers will be peer reviewed by the review panel, with twelve top quality papers to be included in the symposium program. All accepted papers will be made available on the symposium website.

The symposium is sponsored by the recently established Centre for Strategic Financial Management at the Edwards School of Business, and will be held at the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa Resort located in the heart of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Temple Gardens is located approximately 65 km west of the Regina International Airport, and shuttle services between the airport and the resort are available.

All papers must be emailed (in PDF or MS Word format) to the symposium organizing committee at csfm.symposium@edwards.usask.ca. Only electronic submissions will be considered. Please include two files: One full paper with author identification removed, and a separate file with title page and author information, including contact details of the presenting author. With co-authored works, please indicate which author will present the paper. The paper submission deadline is January 31, 2010. All submitters will be notified of the results of the review process by March 31, 2010. Please direct symposium related questions to csfm.symposium@edwards.usask.ca.
