Manchester team to compete in finals
of Indiana CPA Society competition
A Manchester College accounting team is in the finals of the Indiana
CPA Society Case Study Competition. Manchester’s four-student team is
one of six teams selected to give oral presentations Friday, Nov. 3 in
Indianapolis.
This is the College’s third trip to the finals, advised all
three times by Heather C. Twomey of Fort Wayne, an associate professor
of accounting. Manchester took third place in 2004 and 2001.
This year’s team, selected by faculty, consists of seniors David P.
Brown of Granger, Ashley M. Davis of North Manchester, Jodi M. Dell of
Rochester and Tiffany K. Portz of Warsaw. All are accounting majors.
To get to the finals, teams had
10 days to prepare a written case study on peer review. The students are
competing for cash prizes: $1,000 per team member for first, $750 for
second, $500 for third, and $100 for honorable mention.
Other finalists are Butler University, University of Southern Indiana,
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Purdue
University-Calumet and Valparaiso University.
The competition is designed to give Indiana college students the kind of
practical experience they might use as CPAs in
today’s business world.
More than 22 percent of Manchester students are majoring in accounting
or business programs. The College offers a 150-credit hour program to
prepare students to become Certified Public Accountants. For more
