SAS NEWSLETTER

“There is nothing so stable as change.”

1

Since 2009, Pfeiffer University has benefited enormously from the Accounting Department, thanks to Dr. Malloy’s continual efforts to increase student participation in SAS. So what can we expect

from SAS this year? Change.

There is already excitement buzzing around the campus from the current changes in the Accounting Program and the new Fraud Program expected next year.

2

Incoming students are eager to become involved with such a growing student organization with committed role models majoring in business and accounting professions. Graduating students will even have the opportunity to keep lasting connections through the newly founded Alumni Association, ----- Friends of the Accounting Program.

Dr. Malloy and Bilbo Baggins having a conversation regarding International Accounting and it’s influence on Middle Earth accounting standards.
