Three members of the Department of Accounting at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas have been recognized with a national teaching award by the Federation of Schools of Accountancy and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Charles Leflar, a clinical professor in the department who holds the BKD Lectureship in Accounting, and lecturers Katie Terrell and JaLynn Thomas have been selected to receive the Mark Chain/FSA 2016 Innovation Graduate Teaching Award.
