Mano Location: Wattis Business Building, Room 221 Telephone: Jaimee Bailey, 801-626-6072 Professors: E. DeVon Deppe, Ronald M. Mano, Richard E. McDermott, James G. Swearingen; Associate Professors: Larry Deppe, David Durkee, Ellen Harris, Kevin McBeth; Instructors: Loisanne Kattelman, Sandra Lee Swearingen I he School of Accountancy: (1) provides quality graduate and undergraduate instructional programs that prepare students for professional careers; (2) advances knowledge in accounting and business-related disciplines through instructional improvement and basic applied research; and (3) serves the school, college and university, and the business and economic community. The field of accounting encompasses the well-recognized profession of public accounting including auditing, management advisory services, and tax services; professional careers in industry such as management accounting (controllership), cost accounting, and internal auditing; careers in various governmental agencies and other accounting and business-related fields. Accounting is defined as the process of gathering, classifying, interpreting, and presenting information for decision-making purposes to diversified user groups. Professionals in public accounting in Utah encourage 30 semester hours beyond a baccalaureate degree. Students should take advantage of opportunities to prepare themselves to sit for one of three professional examinations (Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, and/or Certified Internal Auditor) at the culmination of their accounting program. Master of Professional Accountancy ■■■■■■■■■'MASrEft DEGREE jHHHHKHH An accounting professional in today's environment must possess a high level of technical competence, a sense of commitment to service, communication skills, analytical skills, and the ability to work well with people. To obtain the required body of knowledge and to develop the skills and abilities needed to be successful accounting professionals, serious consideration must be given to study beyond a four-year baccalaureate program. The Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAcc) Program provides an additional year of training for the professional accountant. In addition, the MPAcc satisfies the requirements of the Utah Public Accountancy Act for those wishing to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination. It gives the students an opportunity to increase the depth of their understanding in key areas and allows a broadening of perspective by providing course work in a variety of areas that cannot be considered in an undergraduate program due to time constraints. The program requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond a bachelors degree in accounting. The program must contain not less than 15 semester hours of accounting of which 12 must be in courses reserved exclusively for graduate students. The program must contain not less than 9 semester hours outside of the accounting discipline. The Graduate Coordinator must approve each MPAcc student's plan of study which will show all courses that the student plans to take. A plan of study must be filed when a student is accepted into the program, when the student wishes to make changes, and each year the student remains in the program. Any MPAcc student receiving a "C" grade in any class which is part of the course work leading to a Master of Professional Accountancy will be placed on academic probation. If a second "C" is received, such student will be terminated from the MPAcc program.
