(An Official Journal for International Computer Auditing Education Association)
Editor-in-Chief : Shi-Ming(Jack) Huang and Tawei (David) Wang
This journal aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for the advancement of knowledge in the areas of Computer Auditing. All business activity is goal-oriented, but risky; and all business people are accountable to someone for their actions and for the consequences of their behaviour. Yet, traditional financial accountability is understood as assertions by management about financial success or failure and not sufficiently believable or transparent.
Moreover, traditional financial audits are not always assuring due to the lack of sufficient evidence or explanations of organizational behaviour. We are in need of a new (semiotic) paradigm that facilitates the integration and reconciliation of traditional accounting, organizational risk analysis, modern information systems and technology, and modern auditing for assurance purposes.
In this proposed journal, International Journal of Computer Auditing (IJCA), we aim to gather the strength of all researchers who are interested in using the accounting and information technology to research into developing and improving risk management be it in the manufacturing, service or government sector. The journal could cover business management knowledge in multidisciplinary areas which include accounting, auditing, corporate governance, management, information technology, economics, and finance research. In the area of services, this journal will focus on risk management, computer auditing, information security, information assurance, business management, information technologies, finance and how assurance methodology is applied to the management of technologies and innovations in businesses.
It is also the aim of this proposed journal to be established as one of the authorities in the venue for publishing highly regarded quality papers from scholars around the world who has strong interest in the research of business assurance.
The journal publishes original and review papers, technical reports, and case studies using both quantitative and qualitative modelling techniques in business assurance research. Contribution may be by submission or invitation, and suggestions for special issues and publications are welcome.

However, reviewers must be able to compare your current submission to other related work in the area. We ask that if you are citing your own work, that you refer to it in the third person as opposed to removing it completely because of blind review.

The editor-in-chief reserved the right to eliminate submissions that do not follow the submission instructions (format, anonymity, etc.) or that do not match any of the conference themes.
The editor-in-chief assigns each paper to at least two carefully selected international expert committee members who are a representative of the research topic of the paper. The editor-in-chief will have access to the authors identity through the submission website, in order to avoid conflicts of interest when assigning the paper to the international expert committee members.
The international expert committee members will provide a review according to a set of criteria including: innovation, reference to prior work, clarity of presentation, methodological rigor, importance of contribution and relevance to the workshop.
The editor-in-chief gathers all the reviews, writes a meta-review based on the reviewers’ comments in order to finalize a decision for each paper. The editor-in-chief may ask further details to a reviewer in case of conflict of if the produced comments are too concise.
