Top Accounting Journal Recognizes COB Faculty

Denise Dickins

Congratulations to accounting professor Denise Dickins and accounting assistant professor (and new College of Business faculty) Anna Johnson-Snyder. Both received an honorable mention for the Max Block Award, which recently was presented by the New York Society of CPAs. They were recognized for their co-authored paper “Not all PCAOB Inspections are Created Equal” that was published in the CPA Journal in 2017.

“The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) oversees the auditors of public companies to ensure that high levels of audit quality are being maintained,” says Dr. John Reisch, chair of the COB’s accounting department. “Denise and Anna analyzed hundreds of inspection reports and examined, among other things, the length of time needed to conduct inspections and the resulting information contained in reports. Contrary to some articles that have assumed inspection deficiencies have equal meaning across auditing firms, they find inspection results between different sized auditing firms is not readily comparable.”

The CPA Journal is typically recognized as the premier accounting practitioner journal.
