• Please join us in congratulating Brad Badertscher, Jeff Burks, and Peter Easton for receiving the American Accounting Association Financial Accounting and Reporting Section Best Paper Award for 2013. The paper is "A Convenient Scapegoat: Fair Value Accounting by Commercial Banks during the Financial Crisis" (The Accounting Review, 2012, pp. 59-90).  The Best Paper Award is intended to enhance interaction among academics and practicing members and to provide an incentive for researchers to focus their efforts on topics relevant to the practicing profession and standard-setters.  The paper was selected from among all financial accounting and reporting studies published in the last five years.   The award committee provided the following quote regarding the study:"The award committee commends the authors on addressing one of the most pressing and important research questions for accounting scholarship and standard setting in recent years. Research on fair value accounting is ongoing and this paper will play an important role in the debate.  At the same time, the committee notes that other research papers have also contributed to the debate on the role of fair value accounting in the financial crisis and have arrived at conclusions different from that in Badertscher et al. The committee does not consider this award as an endorsement of one set of conclusions over the other in the fair value debate."
