The Glen McLaughlin (Endowed) Prize for Research in Accounting and Ethics
25th Anniversary Commemorating Conference
March 24, 2023
The John T. Steed School of Accounting at the University of Oklahoma is soliciting submissions for the 25th annual Glen McLaughlin Prize for research on ethics in any area of accounting. Two winning papers will be selected, and each will receive a $10,000 prize. 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, or the humanities. The paper is best viewed as an interdisciplinary work, contributing to the understanding of ethical concepts, and then applying this this understanding to accounting issues in an effective way. Examples of topics suitable for the prize include (but are not limited to):
- Performance measurement and 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
- Tax reporting and disclosure
