 Planned Scholarly Activity
I will reached at New Orlean at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Nov 15, 2018 for the
purpose of sharing poster based on the research “Decision Making and Negotiation: An
Auditor's Perspective” at the conference. Poster presentation is an effective way to
present and share the idea with least information possible; it also catches audience
attention faster than any published research article.

Being an early career researcher who belongs to a minority- a female in a

country where women’s are being treated as inferior than man. According to the Daily
Times “the World Economic Forum placed Pakistan as the second worst country on
gender equality in its Global Gender Gap index” released on Thursday, November 2017.
According to a report choices for women in the economic arena remain low and
whatever they contribute is undervalued. The issue of Gender Equality is high; Pakistan
is not meeting its economic potential, and some of that has to do with widespread
gender equality.
After completing my PhD on a sensitive topic “Negligent Conduct: An Auditor's
Perspective” I am facing problems in executing or implementing or even presenting the
proposed remedial strategies on the Issue. Being a FIRST Pakistani Female, who took
auditors’ as research subject in Pakistani context, I have not been welcomed at the
forum. Institutions and other concerns are reluctant to set up a meeting on the issue.
After passing 6 months returning home, my research is sealed in cupboard without any
voice.
It is so exciting for me that my poster has accepted at the platform of Society of
Judgement and Decision Making. I feel enthusiastic about attending and presenting my
ideas on the topic “Decision Making and Negotiation: An Auditor's Perspective” at New
Orlean USA. My aim is to initialize efforts to raise awareness of the issue impacting
auditors’ work and audit quality globally and in especially in Pakistani context. This
conference will be my first step toward the accomplishment of my struggle to serve the
audit community. Additionally, i will meet the researchers of the diverse fields who may
give their inside on the topic presented as USA is a hub of research almost in every
discipline including SJDM. This journey will enable me to build my professional network.
I may find the ways to collaborate with the researcher of the same interest and move
further successfully. The JANE BEATTIE MEMORIAL scholarship is very important for me;
it will facilitate not only my academic needs but also accelerate my journey to the place
to be “SJDM Conference”. Further, travelling to New Orlean-USA will reveal me the
distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals,
most notably Mardi Gras.
