CITATION
Margaret Anne Abernethy
After graduating Bachelor of Economics with first class honours from La Trobe University in
1983, Margaret (Maggie) Abernethy worked as a tutor, completing her PhD part-time. Her
doctoral dissertation at La Trobe laid the groundwork for seminal contributions to the
accounting literature on the management of professional workers and the structure and
professionalisation of hospital administration. Thirty-one peer-reviewed journal articles and
four book chapters later, Maggie Abernethy is one of three Australians in the top 100 across all
fields of accounting. Currently ranked eighth in the world in managerial accounting with 5,652
citations to her credit, Maggie has an impressive H index of 25. She has attracted considerable
research funding including the recent successful bid to establish a Centre for Corporate
Governance and Regulation. Prestigious international editorial board appointments include
senior editorships at two key journals – Contemporary Accounting Research and Management
Accounting Research, along with membership of the editorial board of The Accounting Review
and Journal of Management Accounting Research. Maggie was editor of the leading Australian
journal Accounting and Finance for the period 1999-2001 and is currently a member of the
editorial boards of several Australian journals including Accounting and Finance, Abacus and
the Australian Accounting Review. Her international research reputation has secured her
several prestigious visiting appointments overseas including Ferrara, Tilburg and Pablo de
Olavide, Seville. Maggie is an excellent role model, supporter of junior faculty and supervisor
whose responsiveness is outstanding. Fourteen of her publications have been jointly authored
with doctoral students. In the last decade Maggie led the development of the Melbourne
doctoral program. The program, which is benchmarked internationally, represents a
fundamental shift in doctoral education in Australia with two years of advanced coursework,
taught by leading local and international scholars, preceding the three-year doctoral research
program. Maggie has held many leadership roles including Commissioner for the City of
Monash, 1995-1997. She was appointed to the Arthur Anderson Chair of Accounting in the
University of Melbourne in 1997 and has subsequently been Associate Dean (Research)
between 1996-1998, Head of the Department of Accounting, 2000-2002 and, as holder of the
Sidney Myer Chair of Commerce, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics from 2004 to
2012. Maggie was also appointed Chair of the University Expenditure Review Committee in
2006. On her return to the Department of Accounting, Maggie Abernethy was appointed to the
Sir Douglas Copland Chair of Commerce. Critical through Maggie’s years in senior management
and academic positions has been her focus on providing opportunities for both the best
students, and those suffering disadvantage. This has been accomplished through the
establishment of several endowed scholarship programs. In 2008 Maggie Abernethy was
named Telstra Business Woman of the Year for the Community and Government sector in
recognition of her contribution to higher education. In 2012 she was elected as a Fellow of the
Australian Academy of Social Sciences – a highly prestigious appointment recognising
intellectual contributions to the accounting discipline.
The Australian Accounting Hall of Fame recognises Maggie Abernethy as a scholar, mentor and
senior administrator of the highest order.

The University Medal and a first-class honours degree in Commerce from the University of
Queensland started Ron Weber’s career. Masters and doctoral studies at Minnesota preceded
academic appointments at ANU, Queensland and Monash and visiting professorships at Minnesota,
New York, British Columbia, Otago, Alberta and NTU Singapore. Ron Weber has had an outstanding
career that has extended beyond accounting into information systems. Ron has published 50
academic research papers, many in top tier journals in both disciplines, nine books and monographs
and twelve book chapters. This contribution and impact in the academy is reflected with over 10,000
citations culminating in an outstanding H-index of 43. Twenty-six doctoral students, several of whom
are now world-renowned scholars in the information systems field, have benefited from his
supervision, as have 33 course-work masters and honours students. In 2017, two special issues of the
Journal of Database Management were published to recognise some of the pioneering work Ron and
his colleague Yair Wand had done in advancing theory in the field of information systems. As further
acknowledgment of this seminal contribution, a major literature review was published in December
2017 in the top tier information systems journal MIS Quarterly that reviewed the literature motivated
by their initial attempts to develop core theories. In the teaching field Ron’s outstanding contribution
has been well recognised. In 2000 he received the most prestigious Prime Minister's Award as
University Teacher of the Year, won the Australian Universities Teaching Committee Award in
Business, Economics and Related Studies and was inaugural winner of the Outstanding Educator
Award made by the Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand. In the early
1980s, Ron published a graduate textbook on EDP auditing, one of the first published on the topic.
The book went through two revisions and was for some time a standard reference for the Information
Systems Audit and Control Association's Certified Information Systems Auditor examination. In
recognition of his contributions to the field of information systems auditing, the Association awarded
Ron one of four Silver Jubilee Awards in 1994. Ron Weber has served professional bodies in a range
of positions. He was a Divisional Councillor of the Australian Society of Accountants, 1984-1988, and
from 1996 to 1999 was a member of the National Education Committee of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in Australia. From 1987 to 1989 he was Australian President, Accounting and Finance
Association of Australia and New Zealand and in 1997 served as president of the Association for
Information Systems. Ron has also held a multitude of editorial positions including The Accounting
Review and Editor-in-Chief of MIS Quarterly. Ron Weber’s career at the University of Queensland from
1979 until 2002 includes part-time Tutor, Reader, Professor of Commerce, Professor of Information
Systems, Associate Dean – Research and Acting Head of Department. Ron was subsequently Dean of
the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University, 2004-2012, and Pro-Vice Chancellor,

the disciplines of accounting and information systems.
