On June 24-25, 1996, The Maastricht Accounting and Auditing Research Center (MARC) of the University of Limburg will co-host the second annual International Symposium on Audit Research. MARC is the host of the Maastricht Audit Research Symposium which has been held annually in Maastricht, The Netherlands, since 1991.
