Glen McLaughlin Prize for Research in Accounting Ethics

Sponsor: University of Oklahoma Price College of Business School of Accounting

The John T. Steed School of Accounting invites scholars to submit their unpublished papers examining the implications of ethics in any area of accounting. The development of the ethical concepts in the paper may be rooted in ethical philosophy, but authors should feel free to draw upon ethical insights from other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, biology, economics, and humanities. The paper is best viewed as an interdisciplinary work, contributing to the understanding of ethical concepts and then applying this understanding to accounting issues in an effective way. Examples of topics suitable for the prize include (but not limited to):
- corporate disclosure practices;
- financial reporting, valuation, and performance measurement;
- management control systems;
- executive compensation structure and incentive issues;
- assurance services and litigation;
- corporate governance and internal control;
- forecasting and the role of financial analysts; and
- tax reporting and disclosure.
