Jacob Smale is the fifth person to receive the Award since its creation in 2013. Jacob graduated from Carleton University in 2018, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. He currently works in Ottawa as an auditor with PwC.

The Award, supported by the Foundation through an endowment to Carleton University, recognizes outstanding students enrolled in a Bachelor of Commerce program with a concentration in Accounting and who demonstrate an interest in auditing and have participated in some form of public service. It is awarded on the recommendation of the Dean of the Sprott School of Business, Carleton University.

It was set up in memory of the late Ronald C. Thompson, former Chair of the Foundation's Board of Directors, in recognition of his passionate support for public sector auditing and with the hope that it might encourage future leaders to pursue a career in the public service.
