Development & Research Program. During 1998-2003, I managed the University of Illinois’ participation in this competitive case development and research program. To date, about $3 million dollars have been committed to support research and the development of some two dozen instructional cases which are being disseminated for use on a world-wide basis in auditing, accounting, management and strategy courses. The foci of the research and cases are the concepts in the monograph “Auditing Organizations Through a Strategic Systems Lens.”

During academic years, 1994-1998, I served as Director of Project

Discovery--the Accountancy Department's undergraduate curriculum development effort funded by the Accounting Education Change Commission. Starting 1998-99, my duties as Associate Department Head encompass the professional educational programs in accountancy. Most recently, I have been one of the Department of Accountancy leaders with respect to development and continued refinement of the 150-hour program in accountancy. In these capacities, among other things, I made numerous presentations to various audiences including:

“Auditing Education Circa 2010,” International Symposium on Auditing Research, Singapore, May 2010. “Accountancy Education Circa 2010,” Annual Meeting of the International Section of the American Accounting Association, Palm Springs, CA, January 2010. “Accountancy Education Circa 2010,” Conference on Assurance & Attestation Education, University of California, Riverside, February 2009.

San Francisco, California, August 1993. Core Course Developer, Project Discovery, "Assurance and

Attestation." (I headed a team of persons which is developing the content of and materials for this course. During the fall semester of 1994, this course was taught for the first time and a comprehensive set of new materials (e.g., projects and cases) were used.) These materials have been revised and the course taught for a second and third time during the fall semesters of 1995 and 1996, respectively. Commencing the fall semester of 1997, the course is being taught each term and during the summer.

Educational Materials Developer, Assurance Services: An

Introduction and Applications, I developed this set of projects originally for the Assurance and Attestation Course with M. Peecher (University of Washington). Because of the high level of interest exhibited by professors around the country in these projects, South-Western College Publishing is making them available (starting with the summer of 1998) for use on a more large-scale basis. Students plan and execute both an attest service and a non-attest assurance engagement using data and evidence that they acquire via the internet. The data on which the students focus are quantitative-monetary, quantitative-non-monetary, and qualitative in character.

Cases for Introductory Auditing. (During the fall semester of

1992, I wrote three new cases which encourage students to think about applications of auditing "technology" to assertions other than financial reporting assertions.)
