Henry Friedman, associate professor of accounting in the UCLA Anderson School of Management, has been named as the recipient of the 2018 Best Early Career Researcher Award by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants and the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association.
The honor recognizes an early-career researcher with the best overall body of research in management accounting. It is sponsored by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, the accounting organization that represents public and management accounting around the world.
Friedman earned the award as a result of his research contributions which broadly explore how information is produced and used in firms and capital markets. Using theoretical models and archival data, he studies issues including regulation, corporate governance, managerial incentives, noise in stock prices and returns and investor preferences. The award is accompanied by a $2,000 grant.
