Accounting Corporate Reporting and Control Concentration

The Corporate Reporting and Control concentration is a four-course concentration designed to prepare graduates for accounting and control positions in industry, government and other organizations. The compact nature of the concentration allows students to combine it with another concentration or a student-selected array of electives. Academic advisement should be consulted if combination with another concentration is desired. The Corporate Reporting and Control concentration does not meet the educational requirements of the CPA Examination.
