Patrick
Tevenan, a senior accounting major from Western Illinois
University, is this year's recipient of the Jake Wambsganss
Scholarship. Named in memory of Dr. Wambsganss, a longtime member

Illinois CPA Society. He will be interning at the Illinois state
auditor office after graduation and has accepted a fulltime
accounting position with McGladry and Pullen in the Quad Cities
for autumn 2012.

continued success as he starts his professional life. |

Assets Are Held and Income Is Derived? Further Evidence of
Differential Value Relevance from Quebec"
Roger
C. Graham Jr., College of Business, Oregon State University;
Cameron K. J. Morrill, Chartered Accountants Research Fellow, I.
H. Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba ; and Janet B.
Morrill, Chartered Accountants Research Fellow, I. H. Asper School
of Business, University of Manitoba were the recipients of
this year's Distinguished Paper Award in Accounting.
Congratulations to the authors! 
Cameron
Morrill was in Chicago to present the paper. He says of his work and
the NAAS meeting, "My research tends to be in the area of
financial accounting, focusing on comparisons between different
types of accounting information and/or different accounting
standards. This was my first trip to the MBAA International
Conference. I found the North American Accounting Society stream of
the conference to be diverse and interesting, and the sessions to be
supportive and friendly. To top it off, Chicago is a great town. I
hope that I will be able to attend again."
