George Krull/Grant Thornton Innovation in Junior and Senior-Level Teaching Award Program

The intent of this award is to both recognize and disseminate successful innovative practices in the teaching of junior- and senior-level accounting courses (e.g., undergraduate intermediate and advance financial, cost/managerial, auditing, systems, tax, fraud/forensics, etc.) that continue to enhance accounting majors’ interest in accounting and pursuing the CPA profession as a career. Preference will be given to changes in a content segment or a subset of skills rather than a programmatic or curricular change. The winner may be an individual or group of individuals. Faculty member(s) may self-nominate.

Winning lessons/materials for all AICPA educator awards for this and previous years are available for download to AICPA members through the Accounting Educators' Curriculum Resource.

Award Criteria

The Selection Committee will use the following as their primary criteria to judge submissions:

Used in junior- and senior-level accounting courses.
Transferable to other institutions in terms of resources and instructor skills/connections.
Enhances learning of traditionally difficult topics.
Effectively filters students who should enter the CPA profession.

The teaching practice may not be a commercial product for which the faculty member has a financial interest.

Other Educator Awards

Bea Sanders/Innovation in Teaching Award for introductory-level accounting course curricula.
