Institute Research Fellow Jared Harris' Work on
Financial Misrepresentation and Executive
Compensation Featured in CFO Magazine
- November 1, 2005
 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- The
November, 2005 issue of CFO Magazine highlights
the academic work of Jared Harris—a
Research Fellow with the Business Roundtable
Institute for Corporate Ethics and a doctoral
candidate at the
Carlson School of Management at the
University of Minnesota—and
Philip Bromiley, the Curtis L. Carlson Chair in
Strategic Management at The Carlson School.
Harris and Bromiley's research identifies
three different characteristics connected to
companies that falsely reported their finances
in recent years. These companies either:
- are not industry leaders
- have an unusually swift upward swing in
reported financial performance
- deliver a large proportion of their
chief executives' compensation in stock
options
Harris' work has also been recently featured
in the New York Times, the
International Herald Tribune, the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer and the Kansas City
Star, among others.
Harris' primary research interest is in
firm-level corporate ethics. His current work
focuses on the causes and outcomes of managerial
misrepresentation in financial statements.
