To help add clarity to this dilemma, this study evaluates the quantity and quality of publication records for faculty who successfully achieved tenure or promotion at universities offering Ph.D. and/or Masters programs in accounting. Quality of publication was determined based on a number of metrics including the Australian Business Dean’s Council journal list (ABDC), which is now widely used for tenure and promotion decisions as well as for accreditation purposes, and the BYU rankings of accounting journals. We are one of the first empirical studies to use the ABDC to determine research quality. Our analysis shows that for tenure decisions, accounting faculty at Ph.D. granting institutions publish, on average, fewer articles than accounting faculty at Masters universities, but those published articles are at much higher quality journals. In addition, both tenured and promoted faculty at private universities publish significantly more in high quality accounting journals than faculty at public universities. Collectively, our results indicate that research quality and quantity differ between universities that grant Ph.Ds. in accounting and those that only offer a Masters degree in accounting, and between public and private universities. More importantly, our research provides quantity and quality expectations for tenure and promotion cases that can be used by accounting faculty, administrators, and external reviewers across different types of universities. Given that our results are based on historical data and tenure/promotion requirements tend to continually increase over time, this study’s results should only be used as a guide for future tenure and promotion cases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting Education","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 100841"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48397843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the practice of accounting advisory boards in accounting departments, examining the activities they engage in that are most effective in assisting the departments. The authors also explore the barriers that prevent accounting programs from setting up their own accounting advisory boards. To achieve this, a survey was conducted among the accounting department chairs of schools in the United States. The results of the survey revealed that 49.5 % of the respondents indicated that they have an accounting advisory board dedicated exclusively to their accounting department, while 14.6 % of them shared the advisory board with other programs in their business schools. Overall, 64.1 % of the respondents reported having an advisory board. In addition, the study found that the most effective activities engaged by the accounting advisory boards, in order of effectiveness, are student career development, strategic planning, fundraising, and advocacy with departmental and institutional constituencies. Finally, the study highlights the reasons why some schools do not have an independent accounting advisory board. This study provides valuable insights for accounting departments seeking to establish or enhance the effectiveness of their advisory board.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting Education","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 100847"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48531120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Kolb’s four-stage experiential learning cycle as the underlying conceptual framework, further analyses of the feedback from both students and host partners illuminate the ways in which experiential service learning has helped to impact learning. Our findings suggest the value relevance of leveraging experiential service learning within an accounting course toward improving students’ development in areas outside the core curriculum.

The use of data analytics tools has allowed auditors to plan and complete more thorough, accurate, and efficient audits. Pressures from the accounting profession and AACSB have placed an urgency to include these analytics tools into the accounting curriculum.

This information can be used by accounting instructors to tailor their data analytics coverage to include the tools and skills emerging graduates are most likely to use in their profession.
