Accounting Firm Reaches Out to Professors Online
Accounting and business professors, this one is for you. KPMG, the tax and audit consulting firm, this week opened its Faculty Portal online.
The site is free, if your e-mail address ends in “.edu” and you don’t mind giving KPMG a bunch of contact and professional information in order to register. Once in, professors can get news on accounting practices that they can incorporate into their classroom talks.
They can also get access to the “Ethical Compass,” a tool with scenarios for students that can help illustrate what is good and what is bad. (Helping to set up illegal tax shelters, something that KPMG apologized for doing in 2005, presumably is the type of bad thing that students will be steered away from.) —Josh Fischman
