IN MANY WAYS, OUR NEWSLETTER is like a photo album — it captures the many great memories created over the last year in the Accounting Department. Here are some highlights.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTSThis past spring we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our Financial Reporting Conference. The conference has sold out each of the last five years, and each successive year it sells out more quickly. Last year, it sold out within weeks. You can read more about the 2014 Financial Reporting Conference on the previous page.

Also in the spring, we hosted a Financial Accounting Standards Board Town Hall meeting. We were one of only two schools in the U.S. to host such a meeting in 2014. Three FASB board members and three Private Company Council board members were on campus to participate, and spoke to students after the meeting. You can read more about the Town Hall meeting towards the end of the newsletter.

FACULTY NEWSThis year, we say goodbye to several beloved faculty members and welcome two new ones. Pete Dukes, after 35 years of being a leader in the Accounting Department, the Foster School, and the University of Washington, is retiring in December. We will miss Pete’s leadership dearly, and I in particular will miss his mentorship and support. We also say

goodbye to Elizabeth Widdison, who has taught thousands of undergraduate stu-dents in her Introduction to Managerial Accounting (ACCTG 225) class and hundreds of graduate students in our graduate MPAcc program. Elizabeth did a wonderful job as the department’s Beta Alpha Psi advisor for several years.

Two new faculty members join us this year: Phil Quinn from the University of Iowa and Terrence Blackburne from Wharton. We look forward to filling future photo albums with the accomplishments of these two individuals. You can read more about Pete, Elizabeth, Phil, and Terrence in the following pages, as well as news about Professor Dave Burgstahler winning a prestigious international research award and Professor Jake Thornock being promoted to Associate Professor.

STUDENT NEWSFrom winning national case competitions, to traveling to Alaska to help people in remote villages fill out their tax returns, to being appointed to the University of Washington Board of Regents, you can read about Foster accounting students’ many accomplishments throughout the newsletter. We are proud of them, and for good reason; they are a talented group of caring individuals.

I will close with a heartfelt thank you to all of you who helped make many of the accomplishments described in this newsletter possible by donating to our

Greetings from the Chair FRANK HODGE

Congratulations to Department Chair, Frank Hodge, for

PG.4 MICHAEL G. FOSTER SCHOOL of BUSINESS

Extraordinary Faculty Member, Professor Roland (Pete) Dukes Retiring

Top Foster Lecturer Elizabeth Widdison Retires

ACADEMIC SERVICE — THESE TWO WORDS describe the ethic that Pete Dukes has lived by during his 35 years at the University of Washington. He is retiring this year, leaving behind a legacy that will benefit generations of future Foster students.

Pete came to the UW from Cornell University 35 years ago. He immediately felt at home in the Accounting Department — becoming chair within four years of his arrival (1983-1992), and repeating that service to the community twice more, most recently in 2012. Pete served on many academic and adminis-trative committees, and then served five years as Dean of the Banking School, eight years as Foster School’s Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, and three years as the University’s Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR). As the FAR, he represented

the UW at the PAC-12 council and voted on NCAA legisla-tion, but to Pete, mentoring the student-athletes was the most meaningful part of the job. He looked out for their welfare, ensuring they were supported academically and treated well by the athletic department.

His most significant impact on the Foster School was his service as the New Facilities Chair before, during and after the construction of Paccar

and Dempsey Halls. Pete says that assignment was incredibly rewarding. He was a significant member of the design team, and was a key reason the projects came in on time and under budget.

Known for his energetic style in the classroom, Pete taught financial accounting and financial statement analysis to under-graduates, MBA students, and PhD candidates. His belief that one must expect, embrace, and lead change meant that he was a tireless advocate for accounting curriculum review, and pas-sionate about improving undergraduate education.

Pete served the accounting industry by volunteering for numerous positions on accounting journal editing boards, chairing and participating on multiple American Accounting Association committees and subcommittees. He plans to con-tinue to be active in the Association during retirement, and will continue his service as a member of the ADF board.

One of Pete’s goals in retirement is to continue traveling. As a young Navel Flight Officer he represented the US Navy at the Paris Air Show in 1965, and caught the travel bug. He has spent time in countries all over the world and would like to do more traveling with his family. He’d like to do some cycling overseas, but spending time with his six grandchildren is highest on his list. He also plans to write a book for them about his family history — including his unique journey from the cornfields of Illinois to his career at the University of Washington.

Congratulations, Pete! We wish you the best.

LECTURER ELIZABETH WIDDISON recently retired after 15 years at Foster. She will best be remembered by students for her excel-lence in teaching of two significant courses: the undergraduate “Introduction to Managerial Accounting” class and the commu-nications classes in the MPAcc A&A track.

After a 20-year career in music education in England and the United States, Elizabeth returned to school to study accounting, and won the Elijah Watt Sells award for her high CPA scores. She worked as an accounting instructor and WSCPA consultant before joining the Foster faculty in 1999 for what she refers to as her “dream job.”

Accounting 225 students would laugh at how she introduced a discussion of cost concepts with Pothead — the garden gnome — and challenging: “What costs do you see?” MPAcc students would recoil in shock at Elizabeth’s highly detailed red-pen mark-up of their papers. Many MPAcc graduates, however, now cite how well her critiques prepared them to enter the profession.

Elizabeth also was the faculty advisor for the UW’s thriving Beta Alpha Psi Delta Chapter, and was recognized as 2014’s Accounting Faculty of the Year by Foster’s Undergraduate Business Council.

Elizabeth has continued her interest in music. She was associate conductor and business manager of the award-winning Seattle Girls’ Choir; sang in, and was a board-member of, the Seattle Choral Company; and is now a board member of Ancora, a women’s choral ensemble. In retirement, Elizabeth hopes to dust off her piano and rekindle her keyboard skills. She is also looking forward to visiting her grandchildren in Texas, reading books, and traveling the world.

She will, however, always have her blue pen red pen with her to mark up misguided language usage!

esTERRENCE BLACKBURNE’S JOURNEY to the Foster School was more circuitous than most. He began his education at the University of Oklahoma and majored in Political Science, then obtained his masters in International Policy at Stanford. He landed in Washington, DC, working for the White House Office of Management and Budget during the Bush

administration. He spent five years holding the purse strings for several critical programs including the operating budgets for the Army, the Navy and the Marine Corps. Working in the National Security Division was fascinating — but budget analysis and ensuring that expenditures were consistent with President Bush’s policies were even more fascinating. He real-ized how critical it was to understand the finances underlying policies. Accounting often drove decisions, and he decided to pursue a PhD in Accounting from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

He joined Foster’s Accounting Department after completing his PhD dissertation, “Regulatory Oversight and Reporting Incentives: Evidence from SEC Budget Allocations.” He is teaching Intermediate Accounting this fall, and his eyes light up when he talks about teaching. “I love the interaction in the classroom — I believe in participative classes. Foster students are engaged and enjoy the back and forth as much as I do.”

Terrence and his wife, Gayle Christensen (Assistant Vice-Provost for Global Affairs at the UW) were thrilled to come to the Pacific Northwest with their two young children. She was raised in Portland, so they jumped at the opportunity to come to Seattle. Terrence loved the weather this summer, enjoys the abundant water around the area, and has taken advantage of both by canoeing Lake Washington and walking to work from his home.

Welcome, Terrence!

WE ARE PLEASED to welcome to our faculty Phil Quinn from the University of Iowa. Professor Quinn’s research interest focuses on the role of managers in the capital markets. Additionally, he has researched the SEC’s Division

of Enforcement’s reaction to the stock options back-dating scandal.

His career began at Ernst & Young in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He subsequently received a PhD at the University of Iowa, where he worked with two Foster School graduates — Professors Ryan Wilson (PhD 2007) and Rick Mergenthaler (PhD 2008). Phil’s dissertation, “Managerial Ownership and Incentive Alignment: Evidence from Mandatory Stock Ownership Plans,” examines how such plans affect accounting decisions.

Phil taught managerial accounting for seven semes-ters as a doctoral student at Iowa before joining the Foster School. He looks forward to continuing to teach managerial accounting and also to collabo-rating with the Accounting Department’s faculty, which includes another Iowa PhD — Professor Dave Burgstahler.

When Phil isn’t roaming the halls at PACCAR or enjoying one of his favorite meals at Chipotle, he is expanding his horizons and learning how to sail at the Washington Yacht Club. Like many of our faculty, Phil is an athlete — he enjoys running around Green Lake and is training for his sixth marathon.

Welcome, Phil!

PG.6 MICHAEL G. FOSTER SCHOOL of BUSINESS

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that Jake Thornock, William R. Gregory Faculty Fellow, has been promoted to Associate Professor as of September 2014.

Prior to joining the Foster School of Business, Jake was a PhD student at the University of North Carolina, where he was awarded the Delozier Fellowship for Outstanding Doctoral Student. Before earning his PhD, Jake earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in accounting from Brigham Young University and worked as a financial advisor for a regional brokerage firm and as a tax accountant.

Jake has diverse research interests, including interest in taxa-tion, tax havens, earnings information content, information technologies and short selling. He has been widely published in professional journals and cited by national media. Some of his research has policy implications and has been presented to the SEC, the IRS and the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations.

Jake enjoys teaching Intermediate Accounting in the under-graduate accounting program. For his efforts in the classroom, Jake recently received the Crockett Award and Fowler Award for educational innovation at UW, as well as a mentorship award from the Foster PhD program.

OUR RETIRED FACULTY often stop by Paccar Hall to visit. We have enjoyed catching up with them and recently spoke with Kasi Ramanathan and Jane Jollineau.

Kasi Ramanathan lives with his wife, Raji, in nearby Kenmore. They both enjoy volunteering in the community, including Kasi’s weekly seminars on Hindu Scriptures. They were involved in the formal inauguration of the area’s first Hindu temple, The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center

in Bothell, an initiative Kasi has worked toward since 1988.

They also spend time visiting their daughter in San Francisco, and touring the US, India, and other countries.

Kasi tells us one of his favorite activities is the monthly meeting of the Foster Business School’s retired faculty.

Faculty Promotion: Jake Thornock

Emeritus Faculty Updates

Jake and his wife, Kerrie, are devoted to their children, Allie, Luke, Mia, and Josie. He loves music, from classical to blues to grunge to progressive rock, and has played the guitar for many years. He’s also a college football fanatic (go Huskies!) and loves to read good sci-fi.

Jane Jollineau continues to work with PhD students at Foster while teaching in southern California, where she and her husband, Foster Emeritus Professor Bob Bowen, moved in 2012. She collaborates with accounting professors here, recently publishing a paper in The Accounting Review with Foster Professor Lloyd Tanlu and Foster PhD candidate Amanda Winn, now a faculty member at Illinois.

Jane and Bob live in a historic 1925 Spanish revival home near Balboa Park, California. They have traveled with the USD Business School faculty to India, Korea and Japan. They also take occasional trips to Seattle, visit family in Saint John, New Brunswick and Austin, and spend some time in Maui, which is one of the few places with arguably better weather than San Diego. Jane and Bob miss their Seattle friends and colleagues, but, as Jane says, “thankfully many have visited!”

Foster Brings Home the Gold! Accounting Students Win Deloitte Case Competition

KPMG ALPFA Case Competition

THE UW FOSTER SCHOOL hosted the Deloitte Case Competition last February, in which teams of undergradu-ates are given a difficult accounting problem and must use their analytical skills to provide a potential solution. A panel of judges, consisting of several Deloitte personnel and two professors from Foster, evaluated the student pre-sentations. One team clearly stood out and was awarded first place.

Their local win qualified the team for the national com-petition in Dallas in April 2014. The UW team competed

THE KPMG-SPONSORED Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA) national case competition in Orlando pitted 24 teams from universi-ties across the country. Before the competition, four Foster students were coached by KPMG professionals and UW faculty member Jake Thornock.

Once they arrived in Orlando, the team was given a case examining the merger of Disney and LucasFilms, and the students were asked to evaluate the merger and provide recommendations. They had three hours to assess the case, develop recommendations and create a presenta-tion. The next day, they competed against seven other universities and were chosen to advance to the final round. They presented their analysis to three KPMG national part-ners, who evaluated them on content, presentation and responses to difficult questions. Out of 24 teams, the UW team was the first runner up!

against five other national finalist schools, including Notre Dame and BYU. Several Deloitte professionals, including Don Heisler, chair of the Accounting Development Fund, worked with the team to polish their presentation skills and to ensure they considered all important accounting issues. The team performed beautifully at nationals, working together to solve a complex accounting problem and to respond to challenging questions from the panel of national partners at Deloitte. We are pleased to report that the UW team won the national competition!

PG.8 MICHAEL G. FOSTER SCHOOL of BUSINESS

CONGRATULATIONS TO KIERSA SANDERS! The accounting faculty chose her as the Most Outstanding Accounting Graduate based on her leadership skills, contributions to the community, and drive to excel.

Kiersa helped manage case competition efforts as a Beta Alpha Psi leader, introduced prospective students to campus as a Student Ambassador, and mentored high school students through the Young Executives of Color (YEOC) program. Off campus, Kiersa participated in a number of summer leadership programs, spending time at Daniels School of Business, Harvard Business School, and Yale School of Management.

Kiersa was able to juggle her on-campus efforts with off-campus jobs and volunteer activities, all while maintaining a 3.79 GPA in Foster’s Accounting Department. She began her career at Deloitte Consulting this fall, and we look forward to following her continued success.

Most Outstanding Accounting Graduate

MARNIE BROWN IS A THIRD-GENERATION Husky and has been active in campus matters since her freshman year. She has worked as a campus tour guide, served on the University Book Store board of trustees, and was vice chair of the university’s Services and Activities Fee Committee. Now she will be representing University of Washington students as a Regent.

After graduating this past June, Marnie spent the summer in several countries. She worked in Australia for Ernst and Young on a global internship, which she says was fascinating — she was able to observe client interactions, prepare useful tax research for a partner, and possibly best of all, learn what Australian football was like! She also traveled to LA and Orlando (where she was thrilled to visit Disney World) and finally Ireland as a graduate assistant on the Foster Business School’s Exploration Seminar, “Will the Celtic Tiger Rise Again?” She loves traveling — she believes “the more you see, the more you realize how much you haven’t seen,” which she finds humbling and important to remember.

Born and raised in Olympia, Marnie credits her parents for her success — their support and the opportunities she was given have helped her become an accomplished student, world traveler and now University Regent.

She is excited to bring a student perspective to the Board of Regents as she begins work on a master’s degree in the MPAcc Taxation program.

After documenting the progress the chapter made throughout the year, the chapter entered the Gold Video Challenge Competition and was honored to be awarded the Gold Distinction, given annually to only 15 of the over 300 BAP chapters.

Beta Alpha Psi News

BAP students to Alaska to prepare taxes through the VITA program.

REGIONAL & NATIONAL NEWSLast spring, faculty advisor Elizabeth Widdison took the Beta Alpha Psi Delta Chapter leadership team to Portland, Oregon for the 2014 Northwest Regional Conference. Twenty-six Foster School students (including both incoming and outgoing officers) participated in workshops and professional sessions on accounting topics. They bonded with each other, met students from around the region and competed in the Deloitte Best Practices regional competition. Our BAP students had one of their strongest showings in chapter history, taking home the 1st place prize in the Collaboration category and 2nd place prizes in the Leadership and Strategic Planning categories.

LOCAL NEWS

BAP students pitch-in to clean the Ronald McDonald House.

Service ActivitiesBeta Alpha Psi continues to provide its members a variety of ongoing service projects. Once again, stu-dents from the Delta Chapter participated in the United Way’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program; this year, over fifty students participated. For the second year in a row, BAP students, with the support of the Accounting Development Fund, the Bill Wells Endowment and Ernst & Young, traveled to Alaska to provide VITA services to remote villages. Along with other one-time events held throughout the year, there were also daily service opportunities at the University District Food Bank and as a free accounting tutor for Foster students. In total, our chapter provided over 4500 service hours last school year.

What is Beta Alpha PsiBETA ALPHA PSI is an interna-tional honorary organization for Financial Information students and professionals. The primary objective of Beta Alpha Psi is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field. This includes promoting the study and prac-tice of accounting, finance, and information systems; providing opportunities for self-develop-ment, service and association among members and practicing professionals; and encouraging a sense of ethical, social, and public responsibility.

Did you know?Beta Alpha Psi was founded in 1919. There are over 300 chap-ters on college and university campuses worldwide with over 300,000 members initiated since Beta Alpha Psi’s formation.

The University of Washington’s BAP chapter was the fourth chapter in the nation, formed in 1921 with 12 student members, and carries the fourth Greek letter as its name — Delta chapter. Foster’s Delta Chapter has been awarded Superior Chapter for thirteen consecutive years.

Professional Activities The Delta Chapter creates many opportunities to meet professionals by attending weekly professional meet-ings, mentorship programs, personal enrichment workshops, networking dinners, and the Meet the Firms career fair.

Last year, the chapter hosted speakers from the FBI, Nordstrom’s Internal Audit department, the Washington Society of CPAs, and many others. Meetings also featured professionals from regional, national and Big 4 accounting firms, including Tim Ryan, Vice Chairman and Markets, Strategy and Stakeholders Leader of PwC.

Annual Awards and Alumni BanquetOver 200 faculty, students and professionals celebrated the end of the academic year at the Beta Alpha Psi Delta Chapter Annual Banquet last May. The group commemorated an outstanding individual, our faculty advisor for the past two years, Elizabeth Widdison. The entire accounting department, all of Beta Alpha Psi, and the countless students who she has influenced over the years wish her a wonderful retirement. The role of faculty advisor will be taken over by Thomas Phillips for the upcoming school year.

Save the date for next year’s banquet — it will be May 21, 2015, at the HUB.

FASB Town Hall Meeting at Foster School

ADF Board member Ron Rauch and FASB board member Larry Smith discussing the issues with audience members.

UW Business School alumnus, Diane Rubin, chairs the FASB Town Hall Meeting in one of Foster’s newest facilities, Dempsey Hall.

ON MAY 8, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Private Company Council (PCC) chose the Foster School as the site for one of only two town hall meetings held in the United States this year.

The town hall meeting was led by Diane Rubin, a Foster School alumnus and a member of the PCC. FASB Chairman Russell G. Golden and two other FASB board members, Lawrence W. Smith and Daryl E. Buck joined the discussion about various PCC projects, including consolidations, interest rate swaps and accounting for goodwill. Also on the panel were PCC members George W. Beckwith and Steven J. Brown.

The PCC determines alternatives to existing US GAAP to address the needs of users of private company financial statements, based on criteria mutually agreed upon by the PCC and the FASB. The opportunity to bring FASB and PCC board members to campus to discuss issues facing many of the Northwest’s private companies is something the Accounting Department is proud to have facilitated.
