DESCRIBE KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS The Department of Accounting is one of about 180 accounting programs worldwide that has separate AACSB Accounting Accreditation, which puts us in the top 2 or 3% of Accounting programs worldwide. It is one of only two accounting programs in the state of Louisiana that has this separate AACSB accounting accreditation at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The number of graduates in the three Accounting programs is extremely strong; in fact, in the 2013-14, 2012-13, 2011-12, and 2010-11 academic years, the numbers of graduates in all 3 of our accounting and taxation programs were the four highest in 26 years! This shows that our students are graduating at a faster rate than ever, while we continue to maintain our high academic standards. Further, the Department of Accounting s retention rate is the highest in the College of Business Administration and dramatically exceeds the retention rate of most programs in the University. In Fall 2013, the Department of Accounting had the highest student/faculty ratio of any Department in the University, which shows how well- received the three Accounting programs are. The UNO Department of Accounting has the only MS in Tax Accounting degree in Louisiana. It has graduated approximately 360 students from this graduate tax program since 1981. The MS in Accounting degree has been awarded to about 360 students since the 1970s. Also, the UNO Department of Accounting is one of only 27 Institute of Internal Auditors Endorsed Internal Auditing programs worldwide (17 in the U.S.) at the Center or Comprehensive Internal Auditing Program level. On March 28, 2014, we held our 54 th Annual Awards Ceremony; donors contributed a record amount of funds (about $90,000) for about 80 scholarships and awards. In May 2014, we held the 46 th annual Energy Accounting and Technology Conference. The 22 nd annual one- day CPE Accounting Lecture Series, co- sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi and the UNO Department of Accounting, was held in November 2013. Further, in the area of CPE credit, we continue to co- sponsor, with the New Orleans Chapter of the Society of Louisiana CPAs, approximately 10 two- hour CPE seminars each year on Thursday evenings.
