Of the proposals received in 2017, the review committee selected three projects to support, including Cassandra Estep's, Emory University, Mitigating the Unintended Consequences of Material Weakness Reporting on Auditors? Acceptance of Aggressive Client Reporting (with Anthony Bucaro, Case Western Reserve University; and Tim Bauer, University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana). The Access to Audit Personnel Program will connect these researchers with 400 audit staff and managers at CAQ Governing Board firms: BDO, Crowe, Deloitte, EY, Grant Thornton, KPMG, PwC, and RSM. Now in the program?s fifth year, the CAQ and the AAA Auditing Section have supported 19 academic projects and provided access to 4,566 audit practitioners for research. Tom King's paper featured on April 2017 cover, wins bronze from Strategic Finance Comedian George Carlin spoofed sports broadcasting with the line, ?Here?s a partial score: Notre Dame 6.? The joke reminds us how scores are meaningless without comparisons to peer organizations measured with accepted rules. The recent proliferation of earnings figures that deviate from U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) harkens back to Carlin?s joke and threatens the usefulness of U.S. financial reporting. Use of these ?non-GAAP? numbers confounds investors? ability to compare companies? results. Imagine trying to evaluate a score if one team cites touchdowns while the opponent talks about runs.

Department of Accountancy: Faculty News Gary Previts interviewed by THINK magazine From the Fall/ Winter 2016 Issue LENS Business, Law and Policy HISTORY BY THE NUMBERS What Accounting Can Tell Us About the Past? and the Present By Dan Morrell One of the dependable controversies of the American presidential election season is the timing and release of the candidates' tax returns. This year, both Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and businessman Donald Trump faced criticism when they didn't release their tax returns in a timely fashion. (As of mid-September, Trump still had not released his). Nearly all major party presidential nominees since 1976 have released some form of their tax returns? even though there's no law compelling them to do so. Voters simply expect it. This American ideal of financial disclosure offers a window into our country's cultural values, explained Case Western Reserve Distinguished University Professor Gary Previts, PhD, co-author of the seminal History of Accountancy in the United States and a founding member and the first president of the Academy of Accounting Historians. THINK The Magazine of Case Western Reserve University Tim Fogarty and Gary Previts lead the doctoral/ new faculty consortium at the 2017 Ohio AAA Section Midyear Meeting The day before the start of the 2017 Ohio AAA Section Midyear Meeting in Columbus, Ohio, Tim Fogarty and Gary Previts led the Doctoral/ New Faculty Consortium to provide participants with unique and small settings to network and interact with each other and senior researchers and teachers. The sessions in the Consortium were open to all meeting attendees, but were tailored specifically to doctoral students and new faculty who are at the beginning of their careers.

And in Co-President, the event, I heard it, and after watching John King and Wolf Blitzer Political Risk Advisory [email protected] up at the magic wall there for about a hundred straight hours, I have to admit that it took a second for it to sink in.
