Relevant Research to Accounting Standard Setters and Regulators: Actively Bridging Accounting Practice and Scholarship
Relevant Research to Accounting Standard Setters and Regulators: Actively Bridging Accounting Practice and Scholarship Susan D. Krische Associate Professor Department of Accountancy College of Business University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1206 South Sixth Street, Champaign IL 61820 E-mail: [email protected] Preliminary Comments appreciated November, 2009 I greatly appreciate the generous assistance of the many SEC staff with whom I interacted during my term as Academic Fellow with the Office of the Chief Accountant at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, I thank Cathy Cole, Doug Parker, and Nili Shah for insightful conversations and comments related to the development of this paper. I also thank Robert Bloomfield, Donal Byard, Cathy Cole, Susan Curtis, Brooke Elliott, Annie Farrell, Jeff Hales, Roger Martin, Mark Peecher, Paul Polinski, Nili Shah, Steve Smith, Jeff Wilks, and brown-bag discussion participants at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for helpful comments and suggestions. Relevant Research to Accounting Standard Setters and Regulators: Actively Bridging Accounting Practice and Scholarship Abstract This paper helps bridge accounting practice and scholarship by identifying issues for consideration, and potential actions that could be taken, by individuals within the accounting academic community interested in better communicating the relevance of our academic research to accounting standard setters and regulators. I present an optimistic view that there is ample accounting research of potential interest to standard setters and regulators. However, the rigorous methodological standards to which we hold ourselves as academics make it unlikely that we can identify research ideas based on current regulatory agendas and reasonably expect the research to be sufficiently developed in time to impact the motivating debate. -
April 14, 2019 to the Regents of the University
April 14, 2019 To the Regents of the University of Colorado: We are concerned about the selection of Mark Kennedy as the sole finalist for President of the University of Colorado. Contrary to claims made in CU’s press statement, Mr. Kennedy appears to be a divisive administrator with troubled relations to the public and to the media--not someone who would maintain CU’s academic rankings and public image, or bring together our diverse students, staff, and faculty. Colorado’s reputation as an open and inclusive place to live, work, and study would be damaged by the choice of Mr. Kennedy as President of the University of Colorado. As a member of Congress, Mr. Kennedy voted against stem cell research and against grants for colleges serving Black and Latinx students, and he voted twice against marriage equality. This record runs contrary to the Regents’ commitment to cutting-edge research and to “building a community of students, faculty, and staff in which diversity is a fundamental value.” Having a President with this voting record will make it difficult to recruit and retain faculty, staff, and students, especially those who are members of historically underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized groups within higher education. Mr. Kennedy’s record doesn’t reflect the values of voters in Colorado, who just elected Jared Polis as our first openly gay governor. Mr. Kennedy told the Denver Post that his position on marriage equality has changed with the social consensus, but CU needs a leader in diversity, not a follower. We would like to emphasize that our concerns about Mr. -
