By: Kent State College of Business Administration
 
KENT, Ohio - Sept. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Wendy Tietz, CPA, CMA, Ph.D. received the Jim Bullock Award for Innovations in Management Accounting Education sponsored by the Institute of Management Accounts (IMA), for her blog titled "Accounting in the Headlines."  The award was presented in August 2016 for the innovative curriculum materials Tietz includes in her blog posts.

"My blog provides real-life stories for accounting educators to use in teaching introductory accounting," said Tietz. "These blog postings are brief and the content can easily be used in both a face-to-face classroom and in an online environment in a variety of ways."

This award is made on the basis of several criteria to be eligible. The innovation should be adaptable across a variety of educational contexts and should be broad in scope. Finally, the innovation should foster learning and should be low-cost to apply and adapt.

"College of Business Administration faculty members are leaders in business teaching and research," said Deborah Spake, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business Administration. "Dr. Tietz's innovative approach to teaching accounting not only benefits students at Kent State, but also across the nation as other accounting educators share her work with their students."

Tietz was also featured recently in an article titled "Get Students Hooked on Accounting" by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). The piece features her innovative use of technology and social media to make accounting more relatable to students. AICPA represents the CPA profession nationally regarding rule-making and standard-setting. It establishes accountancy as a profession distinguished by rigorous educational requirements, high professional standards, professional ethics and a commitment to serving the public interest.

Tietz has been with Kent State University since 2000. She is a certified public accountant, a certified management accountant, a chartered global management accountant and a member of the American Accounting Association and the Institute of Management Accountants. She received a Ph.D. from Kent State University and MBA and bachelor's degrees from the University of Akron. She has worked in the accounting industry, both as a controller for a financial institution and as the operations manager and controller for a recycled plastics manufacturer.
