Brian Carpenter, Ph.D., and Douglas M. Boyle, D.B.A., accounting professors in the Kania School of Management (KSOM), received the Institute of Management Accountants’ (IMA) Lybrand Bronze Medal for their manuscript “New Rules for Lessee Accounting: A Summary of the Lessee Provisions of Accounting Standards Update.” Co-author Daniel Mahoney, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Accounting Department at the University, who is not an IMA member, received a Certificate of Appreciation.
The manuscript was the third-highest-ranking manuscript in the Lybrand Competition. The IMA member authors of the top three manuscripts are presented Lybrand Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. Authors of other top manuscripts are presented Certificates of Merit for outstanding contributions to accounting and finance literature.
Last year, these three professors were also honored for their manuscript “Goodwill Accounting: A Closer Examination of the Matter of Nonimpairments.” That award was for outstanding character and excellence in contributing to literature for the advancement of management accounting and financial management.
