Accounting

Kelley School of Business

Today’s accounting is about more than crunching numbers. It’s about using those numbers to make decisions, craft strategies, and shape the future of a business. As the language of business, accounting studies the methods of recording, reporting, and examining the financial information and economic outlook of a business for a variety of audiences, including shareholders and auditors, employees, and economists. Accounting graduates who meet the requirements of the State Board of Public Accountancy of Indiana are eligible to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination in Indiana.
