Accountant or Detective
A Credit to Her Profession with Megan Hess
Megan Hess’ research focuses on the intersection of ethics and accounting, exploring topics such as fraud risk management, ethical leadership, whistle-blowing, and sustainability accounting.
“When we find our passion and it intersects something that we’re good at, and then someone is willing to pay us to do that for a living - that’s magic!"
~Megan Hess, Assistant Professor of Accounting
When the Balance Sheet Matches
- W&L Alummates: Megan and Drew are two of 852 “Alum-mates" who are married to each other.
- Hoofbeats
- Megan co-wrote with the former Director of Corporate Compliance at USAA "Fostering an ethical organization from the bottom up and the outside in."
Become Your Own Detective:
Megan’s suggestions for people interested in learning more about corporate fraud:
- The Enron documentary “The Smartest Guys in the Room"
- The podcast that inspired the new Hulu series on Elizabeth Holmes called “The Dropout"
- Cynthia Cooper’s book “Extraordinary Circumstances” is about her experience as a corporate whistleblower
- Emily St. John Mandel’s novel “The Glass Hotel” is a wonderful fictionalized account of a corporate fraud that very accurately portrays the underlying psychology of the misconduct
