Earl Kay Stice

I am the PricewaterhouseCoopers Professor of Accounting at Brigham Young University (BYU). I hold bachelors and masters degrees from BYU and a Ph.D. from Cornell University. I have been on the full-time faculty at Rice University, the University of Arizona, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). In addition, for two years I was the Ernst & Young Professor of Accounting and Finance at Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan.

I won the Phi Beta Kappa teaching award at Rice University, was twice selected as one of the ten best lecturers on campus at HKUST, won six teaching awards at Nazarbayev University, and was awarded the Maeser Excellence in Teaching Award at BYU, the university’s highest teaching honor.

I have taught in a variety of executive education and corporate training programs in the United States, Hong Kong, China, Russia, Singapore, Malaysia, France, and South Africa. I am currently on the executive MBA faculty of HKUST in Hong Kong and the Moscow School of Management (Skolkovo). In the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program, which has been ranked #1 in the world (by the Financial Times) 10 times in the past 13 years, I have twice been selected by the graduating class as the program’s outstanding faculty member.

Three of my children (Derrald, Han, and Lorien) are also accounting professors.

I have been writing accounting textbooks since 1990. I am co-author of Intermediate Accounting, 19th edition; Accounting: Concepts and Applications, 11th edition; and Financial Accounting: Reporting and Analysis, 7th Edition. I am now the co-creator (with my brother Jim and with our colleague Steve Albrecht) of online textbooks for Financial and Managerial Accounting courses at MyEducator.com.

My brother Jim and I create online learning tools in Accounting and Finance. We have over 40 courses in the LinkedIn Learning library.
