University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Assistant Professors Veena Brown, CPA, Ph.D., and Amy Tegeler, Ph.D., will receive a grant from NASBA in the amount of $7,000 for their work on, “Giving Accounting a Second Chance: Factors Influencing Returning Students to Choose Accounting and Become CPAs.” This project will examine the call for high-quality, broad-based accounting professionals with a more diverse set of skills and the shortage of master’s degree students.
NASBA will award a total of $25,000 to faculty and postdoctoral researchers this year.
