Richard A.Young -- The Ohio State University

I am the Director of the Ohio State Accounting Honors Program. Please E-mail me if you have questions about Accounting Honors. Go here to find Syllabi for all the Accounting Honors courses offered in the Department.

Below you can find photos of the current Honors Accounting students.

I am also the Faculty Adviser for Beta Alpha Psi . I highly recommend that Accounting majors pledge and become active members. Pledging only takes place in Spring quarter.

If you have questions about our Masters of Accounting (MAcc) Program please contact the MAcc co-directors, Professor Dan Jensen or Rob Chabot or consult the MAcc website. Many of our Honors Accounting students enter the "Combined Program", which generally makes it possible to earn both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting in less than five years.

In Winter, I will be teaching AMIS H212 - Honors Accounting Principles II , which is the second course in the Accounting Honors Program. In Spring, I will be teaching AMIS H628 - Accounting Research and Practice, the Accounting Research course for undergraduates, as well as AMIS 525 - Cost Accounting.

If you are interested in accounting and management information systems research, you are cordially invited to attend the Thomas J. Burns Colloquium, which normally meets every Friday from 10:30-Noon.

I am the Editor of Journal of Management Accounting Research for 2008-2010. We have an excellent Editorial Board and group of Associate Editors and promise an open, constructive and speedy review process.

My research is in the theory and experimental economics domains of accounting. The leading organization in experimental economics is the Economics Science Association.

My primary personal interest besides my family is coaching and watching soccer, especially the English Premier League and Champions League and even MLS. I have been coaching select soccer for Blast, FC for about 14 years. Of course I also am a fan of Ohio State sports and, sadly enough, have rooted for the Cleveland Browns since the days of Jimmy Brown, Paul Warfield, Gene Hickerson, and Gary Collins.

Sometimes one can get considerable inspiration from famous scholars:
"What advantage does he derive from the system of bookkeeping by double-entry!  It is among the finest inventions of the human mind."
 
"On the afternoon of the Nobel announcement, Nash said that he had won for game theory and that he felt that game theory was like string theory, a subject of great intrinsic intellectual interest that the world wishes to imagine can be of some utility. He said it with enough skepticism in his voice to make it funny."
--  Johann von Goethe (1824)
 
--  "A Beautiful Mind: A Biography of John Forbes Nash, Jr." (1998)
