The online MS in Accounting Program held its four day in-residence class, Acct 5505, from May 19-22, welcoming 100 new students to UConn. One highlight from the week was a session called “Steering the Profession,” which included a presentation by Jeremie Richer of the FASB about the FASB’s role in the accounting profession. Joining Jeremie in the workshop were Mark Zampino from the CT Society of CPAs, and Sonia Worrell Asare and Stephanie Sheff from the CT State Board of Accountancy. They provided an overview of how their state-based organizations can help accountants in their work. In addition, they discussed the requirements for continuing professional education for Connecticut, pointing out that each state has its own requirements.

A big thank you to Jeremie, Mark, Sonia, and Stephanie for their time and expertise.
