USI Accounting Team Wins State

 

A four-member student team from the University of Southern Indiana College of Business has won first place for the second consecutive year in the annual Indiana CPA Society Case Study Competition.

Ten universities throughout the state of Indiana entered teams in the competition that culminated October 14 in Indianapolis with oral presentations by the six teams chosen as finalists.

The USI team included Nathan Atkinson, a junior from Kansas City, Missouri; Andrew Eddmenson, a junior from Madisonville, Kentucky; Kevin Farley, a senior from Huntingburg, Indiana; and May Flores, a senior from Newburgh, Indiana. Atkinson is an economics and finance major. Eddmenson, Farley, and Flores are majoring in accounting and professional services.

Each student on the first-place team received an award of $1,000 from the Indiana CPA Society.

Jeanette Maier-Lytle ’88 B.S. ’95 M.B.A., instructor in accounting, was faculty advisor for the team as well as for the 2004 first-place team.

Teams began the competition in September by submitting written responses to a case study. Students had 10 days to research the case and prepare the team’s written report. Judges announced the top six teams as finalists on October 6 and invited them to Indianapolis October 14 for the oral presentations.

The team from Indiana University-Bloomington placed second in this year’s competition. Each team member was awarded $750. Third place went to Valparaiso University with each team member receiving a $500 award.

Other universities represented among the six finalists included Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis-Kelley School of Business, Purdue University North Central, and Saint Mary’s College.

Teams from Butler University, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, Marian College, and Purdue University also participated in the competition.
