Marietta College's Grace Johnson presents research at conference
Marietta, Ohio (03/27/2023) — Marietta College's McCoy Professor Grace Johnson presented her research, "Surfing for SIRF: Social Engineering, Stolen Identity Refund Fraud, and the Accounting Professional," at the North American Accounting Society annual meeting in Chicago earlier in March.
Johnson's work examined the ways social engineers manipulate and coerce their targets, identified what makes targets susceptible to social engineers' methods, and presented a framework for strengthening accounting professionals' abilities to protect themselves from social engineering.
Johnson, who joined Marietta College in 1989, also serves on the Board of Directors for the North American Accounting Society and was re-elected to a three-year term on the Board. Johnson regularly teaches courses on Business Ethics, Financial Accounting, and Business in Global Contexts.
Located in Marietta, Ohio, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college. Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy back in 1797, the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today Marietta College serves a body of 1,200 full-time students. The College offers more than 50 majors and is consistently ranked as one of the top regional comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review. Marietta was selected seventh in the nation according to the Brookings Institution's rankings of colleges by their highest value added, regardless of major.
