Program Request - Abbreviated Template Utah Valley University Emphasis in Internal Auditing Emphasis in General Accounting 08/25/2014 Section I: Request The Department of Accounting in Woodbury School of Business at Utah Valley University requests the addition of emphases in Internal Auditing and General Accounting to the Bachelor of Science Degree effective Fall 2014. Section II: Need The Internal Auditing emphasis is designed to develop students professional abilities in the areas of riskbased auditing, problem solving, ethical reasoning, and communication through an engaged and experiential learning experience. The General Accounting emphasis provides a general accounting education for students who do not want to specialize in internal auditing. The global market demand for Internal Auditors far exceeds the professional supply. The demand for Internal Auditors today is unprecedented, and is expected to increase annually as public and private companies and government entities continue to expand their audit needs in response to corporate reforms. 2 Rising governance issues in companies and increasing corporate frauds have led to a surge in demand for talent in the internal audit arm of audit firms and companies. Audit firms like Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Protiviti Consulting are ramping up hiring for internal audit and risk advisory functions. While the headcount at E&Y's internal audit arm has more than doubled to 1,250 from 600 over the past three years, the internal audit and risk advisory arm of PricewaterhouseCoopers has grown by 150% in terms of headcount over the past three years. If approved, Utah Valley University s internal auditing emphasis would be the only one in the State of Utah, and one of only five internal auditing programs in the Western United States. One of the programs is in Nevada and the other three are in California. The accounting department has a strong relationship with the Institute of Internal Auditing s Salt Lake City Chapter, which has provided support for the students taking internal auditing courses. Currently employers are hiring students taking UVU s internal auditing courses as interns and for full-time employment. The Institute of Internal Auditors requires an Emphasis in Internal Auditing in order to be recognized at the highest level for excellence in internal auditing. Section III: Institutional Impact The Department of Accounting currently offers all of the courses required for the Emphasis in Internal Auditing and the Emphasis in General Accounting. The courses included in the emphases, are currently 2 Institute of Internal Auditors www.theiia.org/download.cfm?file=71675, Retrieved: April 17, 201.

being taught in the accounting program by faculty members, and the strategic plan for the WBS does not foresee the need of additional faculty for either emphasis. Section IV: Finances All of the required courses exist currently; thus, no new courses or sections will be required to support the Internal Auditing Emphasis. Funding to support the existing courses is already in place; no new funds are required.
