Summary of Experience
Professor Lacey's research and professional interests focus on the implications of financial accounting standards for business outcomes.

As chairman of the Real Estate Committee of the AICPA, Professor Lacey is responsible for the proposal, drafting, and presentation of accounting standards on real estate issues. He has provided expert witness testimony on the financial accounting treatment of real estate transactions and the recognition of profits on real estate sales, including testimony in cases involving major real estate companies, financial institutions, and failed S&Ls.
