Dr. Carol Sargent is an Associate Professor of Accounting at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. Professor Sargent retired as a Vice President and Corporate Controller of a Fortune 500 company and returned to academia with a particular interest in exploring how to build expertise. This interest led her to complete a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from Georgia State University, where she started research lines in critical thinking, curriculum design, learning interventions, cognitive psychology, and assessment across the curriculum. Her education also includes a bachelor’s degree in commerce and a master’s degree in accounting, both from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in computer science from Middle Georgia State University. Her corporate experience includes working for PriceWaterhouseCoopers, one of the largest global accounting firms, and corporate controllerships for large public and private companies. In academia, she has served on the Provost’s Data Governance and Institutional Effectiveness teams; as Chair of Accounting, Finance and Economics; and as Interim Dean of the School of Business. Her teaching includes auditing, forensic accounting, and accounting information systems, all of which have evolved (to her great delight) to include heavy use of technology and data analysis tools such as Tableau and Alteryx. Auditors need to determine if electronic accounting records are faithful and if controls around data are working, leading naturally to teaching data mining and database controls, including cybersecurity. Her concerns over database integrity led her to research projects in blockchain, IT risks, IT compliance, and issues surrounding the Internet of Things. Lately, she is continuously thinking about artificial intelligence (AI), especially as it may apply to enhancing or eroding critical thinking! She has won national awards for teaching, curriculum design, and experimental innovations to improve thinking and learning outcomes. She has been featured in books on teaching, such as bestsellers like Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die (Heath & Heath, 2006), and recent works such as Innovative College Teaching: Tips and Insights from 14 Master Teachers (Binder, 2024). Her research includes publications on auditing, compliance, data analytics, IT risks, blockchain in auditing, barriers to blockchain in the supply chain, the Internet of Things, privacy and security, and financial literacy. She has also published in the literature on teaching and learning across the curriculum. Her publications appear in the Journal of Computer Information Systems, Industrial Management and Data Systems, Issues in Information Systems, Journal of Accounting Education, International Journal of Information Management, Journal of Economic Psychology, Current Issues in Auditing, Higher Education Research & Development, Accounting Education: An International Journal, Issues in Accounting Education, Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, and the Journal of Legal Education. Her scholarship has won international research awards. She served as an Associate Editor for Issues in Accounting Education and is currently Senior Associate Editor for the premier international journal, Accounting Education.
