Celebration of
Student Excellence
On April 7, CB faculty, staff, and
donors joined students and their
families in Pullman for the annual
Celebration of Student Excellence,
recognizing outstanding CB students,
scholarship recipients, and other
student honorees. This year’s event
included a greater focus on scholarships
to recognize the increasing number and
variety of scholarships available (see
story on page 48). For the first time,
scholarship donors were invited to
meet the students benefiting from their
generosity.

Accounting Fraud Symposium
This year’s Accounting Fraud Symposium, held April 28
in Pullman, focused on fraud in government, with speakers
from the Government Accountability Office, Washington
State Auditors Office, Washington Department of Revenue,
and Washington State University. Although this is the
fourth symposium held by the department of accounting,
this is the first year symposium attendees were eligible to
receive Continuing Professional Education credit. “The
symposium provided a great venue for students, faculty,
and professionals in the industry to learn how fraud is
committed or prevented, and how savvy accountants
employ a variety of investigative and technological
techniques to detect it,” says Bob Greenberg, professor
and former chair of the Department of Accounting.
