originally created to address a gap between academic theory and audit practice, the audit 500 is a fast-paced, three-day simulation that gives accounting students a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be an auditor. from testing cash and fixed assets to engaging with a mock cfo, participants work side-by-side with the firm’s staff, simulating the dynamics of a true engagement team. 

“we get to evaluate students in a much more meaningful way than a traditional interview ever could,” said ani zadorian, partner at jlk rosenberger and co-creator of the program. “at the same time, they get to see our culture and decide if they see themselves growing here.”

with bonnie buol ruszczyk
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

in this episode of move like this, bonnie buol ruszczyk speaks with dr. claire costin, cpa (university of portland), and dr. stephani mason, cpa (depaul university), two professors who are shaping the future of accounting education and research through their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei). their insights reveal how today’s students are rethinking what it means to belong in the profession, and what employers must do to keep up. 

more move

dr. costin and dr. mason each bring rich, real-world experience to their roles as accounting educators. dr. costin’s background in nonprofit auditing informs her work at the university of portland, where she teaches everything from auditing to ethics. dr. mason began her career in a big four firm and spent many years in financial services before transitioning to academia at depaul university. while their career paths differ, both have shifted their research to focus on inequity, bias, and intersectionality in the accounting profession. one theme that emerged clearly in their conversation was that today’s students care deeply about inclusion, authenticity, and choosing employers who align with their values.
