    About The Programpeople talking at event

    Accounting is fundamental to successful operations within any business context. It allows for financial control, stability, and accountability, all necessary for developing and sustaining core strategies, making educated and informed decisions, and functioning within legal limits. The specific insight our accounting program provides students is extremely valuable, as there is a deep cultivation and practice of problem resolution, application of ethical accounting practice, and management of social and professional expectations of the evolving business environment.
