SchmidtFRP (2)

MPA Students, you are invited to attend a Faculty Research Presentation featuring Dr. Jaime Schmidt of the McCombs Accounting Department.

Recently, many people have questioned the value of a financial statement audit.  Dr. Schmidt will discuss what auditors do and don’t do and summarize the findings of her research about the value of the audit report.  The talk will help students understand auditing and its importance to the world we live in.  The talk will also explain the complexities of the profession and why so many people question the value of the audit report. Are audit reports valuable?  What we can (and cannot) learn from auditors.

When: Tuesday, February 25; 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Where: UTC 4.110

For questions, please contact Erin Philip (Erin.Philip@bba13.mccombs.utexas.edu) of the Faculty Relations Committee for the Undergraduate Business Council.
