Department Finances

The vast majority of the resources necessary to run the Department of Accounting and Law come from the contributions of our alumni and friends. We receive state funding for faculty and staff compensation, individual budgets, research assistants, and general computer needs, but no state funding for other costs. Contributions are used to support normal department operating costs, but the majority are used to directly support accounting faculty and students, to maintain the high quality of our accounting programs. A breakdown of general expenditures appear below (amounts rounded to the nearest $100).

Types of activities funded by your contributions include: 

 

 

Student support: Activities of the two accounting clubs (Beta Alpha Psi, UB Accounting Association), support for doctoral student travel to conferences, expenses for information sessions.

    

Teaching and research support: Graders, proctors, supplies, visiting speakers, databases, outside speakers for workshops, databases.

    

Faculty support: Travel to conferences and professional development seminars, hardware, software.

    

Professional activities: Banquets, professional membership fees, newsletter.
