This case allows students to apply managerial accounting knowledge in a practical real-world setting. Integrating both financial and nonfinancial considerations, students are charged with making a recommendation to the owners of a family-owned and operated car wash (Crossroads), who are forced to make a difficult decision between a financially secure retirement or continuing to operate the business that supports their children and at-risk employees. This case can be used as is or modified for use in undergraduate and graduate managerial accounting courses and is intended to challenge students (1) to use managerial accounting knowledge and concepts to identify issues and relevant costs, (2) to understand the challenges and risks associated with selling a family-owned business, (3) to apply managerial accounting skills to the decision-making process, and (4) to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate financial and nonfinancial considerations to make a recommendation on selling or continuing to operate a family-owned small business.
本案例使学生能够在现实世界中应用管理会计知识。综合财务和非财务考虑,学生们被要求向家庭拥有和经营的洗车场(十字路口)的所有者提出建议,这些所有者被迫在经济上有保障的退休或继续经营支持其子女和有风险员工的企业之间做出艰难的决定。本案例可按原样使用或修改以用于本科生和研究生管理会计课程,旨在挑战学生(1)使用管理会计知识和概念来识别问题和相关成本,(2)了解与出售家族企业相关的挑战和风险,(3)将管理会计技能应用于决策过程,以及(4)分析、综合和评估财务和非财务考虑因素,以就出售或继续经营家族式小企业提出建议。

This case describes how Judith Oakes stole approximately $3.1 million of lunch money from the Rialto Unified School District in San Bernardino, California. The purpose of this case is to provide a detailed example of an occupational fraud, which exposes students to different theories that explain why people engage in fraud beyond the fraud triangle. An illustrative case demonstrates how weak controls and a capable employee led to a massive fraud wherein close relationships with administrators allowed the fraudster to perpetrate the fraud for many years. While analyzing the case, students evaluate the fraud using common fraud theories including the fraud triangle (including several adaptions) as well as economic, psychological, and sociological theories. Further, students will assess and design internal controls to detect, prevent, and deter fraud.
这个案件描述了朱迪思·奥克斯如何从加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺的里亚托联合学区偷走了大约310万美元的午餐钱。本案例的目的是提供一个职业欺诈的详细例子,让学生了解不同的理论,这些理论解释了为什么人们在欺诈三角之外从事欺诈。一个说明性案例表明,薄弱的控制和有能力的员工如何导致大规模欺诈,其中与管理员的密切关系使欺诈者得以实施欺诈多年。在分析案例时,学生使用常见的欺诈理论,包括欺诈三角(包括几种适应)以及经济学,心理学和社会学理论来评估欺诈。此外,学生将评估和设计内部控制,以发现、预防和阻止欺诈。

Leveraging Cost Accounting to Manage Earnings: Evidence from Toshiba’s Semiconductor Business 利用成本会计管理收益:来自东芝半导体业务的证据

This case pertains to the interplay of cost accounting, performance measurement, and financial reporting issues in Toshiba’s Semiconductor Business. It addresses how Toshiba manipulated its reported profits by inappropriately allocating its budgeted fixed overheads and not recognizing inventory losses in a timely manner in the financial statements. These manipulations overstated profits of the Semiconductor business by ¥36.0 billion, almost a quarter of the total of Toshiba Corporation’s ¥151.8 billion profit overstatement. The Investigation Report indicated that the profit manipulations were a likely outcome of top management’s unrealistic expectations. For the Semiconductor business of Toshiba, the timely recognition of inventory losses would have offset the profit misstatements resulting from the inappropriate allocation of budgeted fixed overheads. Alternatively, proper allocation of budgeted fixed overheads would have reduced or even avoided the need to recognize inventory losses. The case provides an integrative view of cost accounting and financial accounting.
本案例涉及东芝半导体业务中成本会计、绩效衡量和财务报告问题的相互作用。该报告指出,东芝是如何通过不恰当地分配固定管理费用预算,以及未在财务报表中及时确认库存损失,来操纵其报告的利润的。这些操纵将半导体业务的利润夸大了360亿日元,几乎是东芝公司夸大利润总额1518亿日元的四分之一。调查报告指出,利润操纵很可能是高层管理人员不切实际的期望的结果。对于东芝的半导体业务,及时确认库存损失将抵消因预算固定管理费用分配不当而导致的利润错报。或者,适当分配预算固定间接费用将减少甚至避免确认存货损失的需要。本案例提供了成本会计和财务会计的综合观点。

Janet A. Samuels, Janet Huston, William R. Pasewark
Given the importance of accountants’ writing skills, the written communication expectation-performance gap, and limited accounting faculty time and expertise, this Business Writing Mechanics (BWM) learning strategy provides students with a spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word choice refresher using minimal faculty effort. BWM is an online, self-graded resource that students complete outside of class and consists of four separate assignment modules covering 1) Effective Written Communication, 2) Basic Grammar, 3) Advanced Grammar, and 4) Business Grammar. For each module, students access a PowerPoint slide deck, watch lecture video(s), and demonstrate mastery of the material via a quiz. Large quiz pools allow students to take a quiz multiple times until mastery is achieved. Students’ feedback indicated the PowerPoint slide decks were a good reference tool, the videos were easy to follow, and students’ knowledge, confidence, and awareness of writing mechanics increased.

Life Experiences of a Black Accounting Student and Faculty Member 一位黑人会计系学生和教职员工的生活经历
IF 0.9 Q3 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2022-10-27 DOI: 10.2308/issues-2021-111
Mark C. Dawkins
This article discusses my life experiences as: 1) a Black student studying accounting at several predominantly white institutions (PWIs), and 2) a Black accounting faculty member serving at two PWIs for 27 years. It includes some personal thoughts, memories, experiences, and lessons learned. After seeing videos of several Blacks suffocated or fatally shot by police officers and civilians, I felt compelled to write it with the hope that my comments would better sensitize primarily majority accounting faculty to the actual or perceived realities of the world and, more specifically the academy, from the perspective of one Black accounting faculty member. Also, I hope my comments provide some lessons and insights about the need for and benefits derived from DEI training, initiatives, and programs that help serve to guide our actions and behaviors as we educate the next generation of accounting students for life after college as practitioners and society  members.
这篇文章讨论了我的生活经历:1)一名黑人学生在几个以白人为主的机构(PWI)学习会计,2)一名在两个PWI工作了27年的黑人会计教员。它包括一些个人的想法、记忆、经历和经验教训。在看到几名黑人被警察和平民窒息或枪杀的视频后,我觉得有必要写这篇文章,希望我的评论能更好地让大多数会计教师从一名黑人会计教师的角度,对世界的实际或感知现实,更具体地说,从学院的角度,更加敏感。此外,我希望我的评论能为DEI培训、倡议和计划的必要性和收益提供一些教训和见解,帮助指导我们的行动和行为,教育下一代会计学生在大学毕业后成为从业者和社会成员。

Inclusion of Disability Within the Spectrum of Diversity and the Implications for Accounting Education 将残疾纳入多样性范畴及其对会计教育的启示
IF 0.9 Q3 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2022-09-26 DOI: 10.2308/issues-2021-007
Richard Walstra, Emilia Chukwuma
The number of students with disabilities in higher education has grown significantly. Although society and higher education have become increasingly diverse, discussions and efforts related to diversity, equity, and inclusion on college campuses frequently exclude disability, and research on the topic is narrowly focused. In this paper, we seek to reconceptualize the understanding of diversity as a way to promote a more inclusive environment where students with disabilities feel welcomed and engaged. Current attitudes are shaped by legislative history and models of disability, so we review the background of both aspects. With better awareness, higher education, including accounting programs, can break down barriers and model social justice. Responsibilities fall on faculty, student peers, and administration, including disability services, to foster these changes. Regarding accounting education, universal design for learning (UDL) and associated learning theories offer many promising avenues to create active and inclusive learning environments for all students.
高等教育中的残疾学生人数显著增加。尽管社会和高等教育已经变得越来越多样化,但大学校园中与多样性、公平性和包容性相关的讨论和努力往往将残疾排除在外,对这一主题的研究也很狭隘。在本文中,我们试图重新定义对多样性的理解,以此促进一个更具包容性的环境,让残疾学生感到受欢迎和参与。目前的态度是由立法历史和残疾模式决定的,因此我们回顾了这两个方面的背景。有了更好的认识,包括会计项目在内的高等教育可以打破障碍,树立社会正义的典范。促进这些变化的责任落在教师、学生同行和行政部门,包括残疾服务部门。关于会计教育,通用学习设计(UDL)和相关学习理论为所有学生创造积极和包容的学习环境提供了许多有前途的途径。

Where do I Start? A Pathway for Personal Growth for Faculty Committed to Creating Inclusive Classrooms 我从哪里开始?致力于创建包容性课堂的教师的个人成长之路
IF 0.9 Q3 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2022-09-23 DOI: 10.2308/issues-2021-068
Robbie Bishop-Monroe, Joanna L. Garcia
This commentary offers insights into how accounting faculty can begin to create more inclusive, equitable experiences for students. Many faculty are well-intentioned and desire to improve the student experience, but may not know where to start. We introduce a pathway of reflection, education, and action that we believe can help faculty get started on this process. Reflection is the process of assessing one’s own identity, influences, biases, and personal experiences with diversity and privilege. Education involves seeking out information and experiences that can enhance cultural competence, particularly around gaps identified through reflection. Action refers to practical steps taken to make classrooms more inclusive, including classroom management and curricular changes. We draw upon professional experiences in academia and personal knowledge as authors with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to guide faculty interested in beginning to develop more inclusive classrooms.
这篇评论深入了解了会计教师如何开始为学生创造更具包容性、更公平的体验。许多教师都是出于善意,希望改善学生体验,但可能不知道从哪里开始。我们引入了一种反思、教育和行动的途径,我们相信这可以帮助教师开始这一过程。反思是用多样性和特权来评估自己的身份、影响、偏见和个人经历的过程。教育包括寻找能够提高文化能力的信息和经验,特别是围绕通过反思发现的差距。行动是指为使课堂更具包容性而采取的实际步骤,包括课堂管理和课程改革。作为具有不同种族和民族背景的作者,我们利用学术界的专业经验和个人知识,指导有兴趣开始开发更具包容性的课堂的教师。

Getting Students Ready for Accounting Spreadsheets Training for Basic Spreadsheet Skills with Pre/Post Assessments 让学生为会计电子表格培训做好准备,通过预/后评估掌握基本电子表格技能
IF 0.9 Q3 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.2308/issues-2021-010
A. F. Borthick, Gary P. Schneider
This case is intended to impart basic spreadsheet skills to students that do not have them. It trains them to transform data, create formulas (with functions, IF statements, and absolute references), aggregate data, look up values, configure pivot tables, sort data, record macros, and extract spreadsheet tasks from conversation. These skills are needed for subsequent spreadsheet analyses for solving business problems. Suitable for students that can copy cells and develop simple formulas, the case offers pre- and post-assessment questions. The case provides scaffolding resources: flashcards for Excel features, a work plan template, a narrated video for getting started with the work plan, and guidance (scripts with screenshots and narrated videos) for performing the spreadsheet tasks. Using the context of a gradebook application, which is familiar to students, the case minimizes the cognitive load students experience because they are not trying to learn accounting and spreadsheet skills simultaneously.
本案例旨在向没有电子表格技能的学生传授基本的电子表格技能。它训练他们转换数据、创建公式(使用函数、IF语句和绝对引用)、聚合数据、查找值、配置数据透视表、排序数据、记录宏,以及从对话中提取电子表格任务。这些技能是解决业务问题的后续电子表格分析所必需的。该案例适用于能够复制单元格并开发简单公式的学生,提供评估前和评估后的问题。该案例提供了脚手架资源:Excel功能的抽认卡、工作计划模板、开始工作计划的解说视频,以及执行电子表格任务的指导(带有屏幕截图和解说视频的脚本)。使用学生熟悉的成绩单应用程序的背景,该案例最大限度地减少了学生的认知负荷,因为他们没有试图同时学习会计和电子表格技能。

Casual accounting academics’ sense of dignity and inclusion in the workplace 临时会计学者在工作场所的尊严感和包容性

The delivery of accounting higher education in Australia has been heavily dependent on casual academic staff in light of increased enrolments of national and international students. Whilst research to date has emphasized the demanding aspects of casual teaching and the need for improvements to the working conditions of casual academics, little is known about casual academics lived experiences and the way they develop ethical understanding of their day-to-day working conditions. We provide in-depth empirical evidence about casual accounting academics employment experiences in Australian Universities and highlight the factors that support and/or inhibit casual academics’ sense of inclusion and dignity in the workplace. Using ‘workplace dignity’ as our theoretical framework, we find that the stage of the casual academics’ career and their aspirations for academia impact their views and experiences of dignity and inclusion in the workplace.
由于澳大利亚国内和国际学生入学人数的增加,澳大利亚的会计高等教育在很大程度上依赖于临时学术人员。虽然迄今为止的研究强调了临时教学的苛刻方面和改善临时学者工作条件的必要性,但对临时学者的生活经历以及他们对日常工作条件的道德理解的方式知之甚少。我们提供了关于澳大利亚大学兼职会计学者就业经历的深入实证证据,并强调了支持和/或抑制兼职学者在工作场所的包容性和尊严感的因素。以“工作场所尊严”作为理论框架,我们发现休闲学者的职业生涯阶段和他们对学术的期望影响了他们对工作场所尊严和包容的看法和体验。

This paper presents one approach to integrating data analytics (DA) and visualization content and software into the accounting information systems (AIS) course. The proposed AIS course model—which includes core and support components—covers many topics in the proposed 2024 CPA Evolution Model curriculum. The core components include an instructor-chosen AIS textbook, and Alteryx Designer and Tableau Desktop software. The popularity, availability, and ease of learning and use of the Alteryx and Tableau software motivates choosing the software. The support components include weekly homework, a class project, professional certification exams, and a course survey. The course learning objectives facilitate students: (1) developing an analytics mindset, (2) cultivating an interest in accounting analytics and AIS, and (3) enhancing life-long self-directed learning. Instructors can implement the proposed course model in provided 15-week, 10-week or 4-week sessions. Evidence of efficacy suggests that the proposed course model meets its key learning objectives.
