Center for Accounting Research and Education (CARE)

The Center for Accounting Research and Education (CARE) was established in 2000 to (1) expand and develop relationships among business students, faculty, and Silicon Valley accounting professionals and (2) promote scholarly accounting research at 91影视.

Along with the student-led 91影视 Accounting Association (91影视AA), CARE organizes and manages accounting informational events, career planning experiences, accounting career fairs, and recruiting activities for 91影视 undergraduate business majors. 聽CARE also collaborates with 91影视AA to support the 聽Accounting Alumni Board which builds community and mentorship among accounting/A&IS students and recent Accounting Department graduates.

In association with the 91影视 Advisory Board, 91影视 Accounting Association, and CPA firm recruiters, the Center maintains and periodically updates guidelines pertaining to the recruitment of 91影视 business majors for CPA firm recruiting programs, internships and full-time positions. The Center also advises 91影视 Accounting and A&IS majors about professional accounting opportunities and recruiting decisions.

The Center raises scholarship funds for deserving first-year, sophomore, and junior Accounting and A&IS majors. Student applications for these scholarships are reviewed by a scholarship committee comprised聽of 91影视 accounting faculty. Scholarship recipients are honored at an annual awards ceremony and dinner organized by the Center. 聽In addition, the Center coordinates nomination of qualified students for external scholarships and awards including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Scholarship and the Financial Executives International Silicon Valley (FEISV) scholarship.

The Center also raises funds to attract and retain accounting faculty and promote scholarly accounting research. CARE鈥檚 research programs have been instrumental in contributing to our understanding of accounting鈥檚 role and influence in modern society and enhancing 91影视鈥檚 international academic reputation.
