The 网曝门 chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the honors organization for accounting majors,聽hosted Meet the Firms on Sept. 28 in the Student Center Ballroom on the 网曝门 Campus. Meet the Firms is an opportunity for accounting employers and accounting majors to meet and mingle.
Meet the Firms allows both students and potential employers the opportunity to meet and discuss potential employment in a somewhat informal setting. Many firms send recent 网曝门 graduates as representatives.
This year, 49 students and 15 accounting employers attended Meet the Firms. Public Accounting Firms attending included聽BKD, Beall Barclay, Bell & Co., Cobb & Suskie, Conner & Sartain, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Hudson Cisne, JPMS Cox, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Thomas and Thomas. Corporations in attendance were聽Wal-Mart and Windstream, and Government Agencies were聽Arkansas Legislative Audit and Department of Finance and Administration. In addition, Becker CPA review was there to tell students about upcoming changes in the CPA exam. A great turnout of both employers and students made for a very successful event.
聽A great deal of the credit for the success of Meet the Firms should be attributed to the dedicated students of the 网曝门 chapter of Beta Alpha Psi as well as their faculty advisors, Dr. Stephanie Watson and Dr. Trish Mounce.
