In August 2018, the Department of Accounting hosted over 75 academics for the two-day 100th Anniversary Accounting Conference, bringing together researchers from Finland to Hong Kong. The program featured three keynote addresses and fourteen presentation sessions, and was opened with remarks from the Fox School of Business interim dean Ronald Anderson. The department was especially pleased to welcome back to campus several PhD graduates for the conference and introduced them to the current doctoral students.

Dr. Ray Ball of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business gave the Thursday evening keynote address at dinner in Morgan Hall. His speech was on the criteria for evaluating financial reporting. Also on Thursday, Baruch College’s Dr. Douglas R. Carmichael presented a talk on the challenges facing the accounting profession. Dr. Greg Waymire, of Emory University and Chapman University gave a keynote address on Friday about Adam Smith, the Scottish economist and philosopher and his influence on modern accounting principles.

The Fox School’s Department of Accounting will co-host the 2019 Conference on Convergence of Managerial and Financial Accounting Research with the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business next summer in Lake Louise, Alberta.
