Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 33^rd Annual Congress of European Accounting Association which will be held jointly by the EAA and the Faculty of Business Administration of Istanbul University.

The Congress will be held at Istanbul Hilton Convention & Exhibition Center on May 19 - 21, 2010.

We are delighted to provide another opportunity for our colleagues from all around the world to strengthen the ties between themselves. Thus, we hope that it will help to promote our advancement in accountancy and finance through the exchange of views and ideas.

Istanbul is one of the world’s most magical and enchanting cities. The two continents of Europe and Asia meet and embrace here across the Bosphorus Strait, carrying with them unique flavors of the Orient and Occident. You may like to explore the remains of the three empires which dominated this part of the world in the past. The mystic silhouette of the city and the unique beauty of the Bosphorus still survive in spite of cruel effects of urbanization and economic necessities. The monuments of all religions are around you. At the same time you can enjoy the modern life if you wish.

We are looking forward to welcome you to the exciting city of Istanbul in May 2010.

Recep PEKDEMIR
Congress Chair
