Two Mays School Faculty Members Honored for Research Contributions
When CEOs defraud investors, do they usually see jail time? What is the ultimate cost to the criminal’s career and bank account? These were questions examined by Scott Lee, professor of finance at Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School, in the article “The Cost to Firms of Cooking the Books,” which appeared in the September 2008 issue of Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA).
L. Murphy Smith, a professor of accounting at Mays, received the Outstanding Researcher Award from the American Accounting Association, Strategic and Emerging Technologies Section, at its annual meeting in New York City in August 2009. As stated on the award, Smith was recognized “for his extraordinary academic achievements and leadership in research.”
