Larry Gordon to Speak at London School
of Economics' Management Accounting Research Group
Larry Gordon, Ernst & Young
Alumni Professor of Managerial
Accounting and Information Assurance
and director of the Ph.D. Program,
will be the plenary speaker at the
London School of Economics'
Management Accounting Research Group
(MARG) Conference on April 6, 2006.
The conference is sponsored by the
Department of Accounting and Finance
at LSE, the Chartered Institute of
Management Accountants (CIMA) and
the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW),
with a theme of “Risk Management &
Financial Control."
Management accounting practices
revolve around organizational
control issues. Never before have
interdependencies between corporate
control concerns, risk management
priorities and security technology
and computer assurances been more
significant to management and
management accounting processes.
This year’s MARG Conference places
these concerns and cybersecurity
issues -defined widely as the
control of computer-based system
vulnerabilities including the
managerial use of systems - center
stage and discusses a variety of
aspects of risk management and
management accounting.
"My talk, Risk Management and
Cybersecurity: A Management
Accounting Perspective, will
focus on my research with Martin
Loeb in the area of economic aspects
of cybersecurity," says Gordon.
Gordon goes on to note that "the
high academic profile of LSE's
accounting faculty, coupled with the
fact that the two main professional
accounting organizations in the UK,
are cosponsors of this conference
provides strong evidence that our
research is having an important
impact on the field of accounting as
well as the field of computer
science." There should be at least
150 individuals in attendance at the
2006 MARG Conference, with a roughly
even split between academicians and
senior executives/practitioners.
Gordon is the co-author
(with Martin Loeb) of the highly
acclaimed new book from McGraw-Hill's
Professional Division entitled
Managing
Cybersecurity Resources: A Cost
Benefit Analysis. This book was
written in order to bring Gordon and
Loeb's research on cybersecurity to
a wider audience.
