Prof. Kogan is a past President of the Artificial Intelligence / Emerging Technologies Section of the American Accounting Association (currently called the Strategic and Emerging Technologies (SET) section of AAA) and a member of RUTCOR - Rutgers University's Center for Operations Research. He is the past Editor and a current Associate Editor of Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting, and a member of the Editorial Boards of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and International Journal of Digital Accounting Research. Prof. Kogan was a Guest Editor of the Special Issues of Discrete Applied Mathematics on Discrete Mathematics and Data Mining (DM & DM).

Prof. Kogan is a co-author of "Continuous Auditing" (with Alles and Vasarhelyi) published by BNA, of "The Internet Guide for Accountants" (with Sudit and Vasarhelyi) published by Prentice Hall, and a co-editor of the "Artificial Intelligence in Accounting and Auditing: Towards New Paradigms, Vol. 4" (with Vasarhelyi) published by Markus Wiener.

Prof. Kogan has received the Rutgers University's Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence, and the Research and Service Awards of the Artificial Intelligence / Emerging Technologies Section of the American Accounting Association.

Prof. Kogan is one of the founders of the Rutgers Accounting Web (RAW). The RAW is the oldest and the largest accounting Web site on the Internet. Since 1994, the RAW materials have been available on the Internet for use by accounting scholars, practitioners, educators and students. The development of the RAW was supported by a grant from the National Center For Automated Information Research (NCAIR). The RAW originally put on the Web such major accounting organizations as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, the American Accounting Association, the Institute of Management Accountants, the Institute of Internal Auditors, and the Association of Government Accountants.
