The NIU Department of Accountancy has a storied history
— written over many years. Our graduates have had
incredibly successful careers – thanks, in part, to their time
at NIU and the commitment of our faculty to prepare them
for the profession. We continue to attract outstanding
students . . . and our current faculty are fully committed to
helping them succeed, while also making significant
contributions to the academy and profession via their
research and service. Our “story” continues to be written,
and written well.
It has been the highlight of my academic career to be
Chair of this Department. As Chair, my work has been
interesting, widely varied, challenging, and stretched me
in ways I could not imagine.
As with life, however, seasons come and go; as one season
ends, a new one begins.
Earlier this year, after a decade as Chair of the NIU
Department of Accountancy, I informed Dean Denise
Schoenbachler of my plans to conclude my service at the
end of this year.
I am honored to be chosen as the first woman chair of
NIU’s Department of Accountancy. Many strong
women have served as role models and mentors to
me to make this opportunity a reality.
Leading the NIU Department of Accountancy is an
exciting opportunity. First, NIU Accountancy
students are top-notch. They are hard-working,
intelligent students who strive to become
professionals. Our program helps mentor their
transition through strong academics, numerous
internship opportunities, and a focus on career
success.
I look forward to work every day at NIU. A primary
reason for this is the outstanding faculty in the
Department. My colleagues are dedicated to student
learning. I enjoy listening to the conversations that
faculty have with students as they assist with
challenging course materials and career decisions.
Further, faculty members are engaged with
professionals in practice, active in academic
organizations, and fun to be with!

(Continued from page 1)
Among the many benefits of being in this role is that it
allowed me to interface with NIU Accountancy alumni and
friends – an opportunity that would not have occurred had I
not been Chair. Thank you for enriching my professional
and personal life.
Many of the accomplishments in the Department would not
be possible without the support of our outstanding alumni
and friends of the Department. For example, it is amazing to
me that Barry Shaw volunteers significant time to work with
our MAS students just because he believes in our program.
Thanks, as well, for the many ways you have supported the
Department (both financially and with your time and
energy). Your steadfast commitment to this Department is
both humbling and gratifying. Quite simply, we cannot be
successful without you. Thank you for making a difference
in the lives of our faculty and students.
NIU faces many challenges as it wrestles with enrollments
and the state budget. As such, I plan to focus on two key
themes in the short-term:
As you have discovered already, Rebecca Shortridge has
been appointed Chair effective January 1, 2016. Rebecca is
uniquely qualified to assume this role. She has been our
Department’s Assistant Chair for the past four years, and
during that time she has developed a wonderful sense of
our faculty, students, programs, and operations. She has an
outstanding record of research and teaching (including a
number of national awards for innovation in accounting
education). Not surprisingly, Rebecca enjoys the strong
support of our faculty. I am truly excited for both Rebecca
and the Department and look forward to its continued
success (on many dimensions).
So what’s ahead for me? Well, I am planning to return to
my academic passions — research and teaching. A research
project on income inequality awaits (using a unique U.S.
Treasury Department data set) and I am looking forward to
trying out some new ideas in the classroom (but I have
much to learn as things have changed considerably over
the last decade).
Finally, I want to acknowledge (and thank) our Dean,
Denise Schoenbachler. Not only has she been a strong
supporter of our Department, but she has been a wonderful
mentor and friend through the years. And, whether you
realize it or not, you have had a significant impact on my
life as Chair of NIU’s Department of Accountancy — thank
you for all you have done (and will continue to do) in
writing our Department’s “story.” I hope that our paths will
continue to cross in the years ahead.

Student Enrollment, Outreach, and Marketing: Given the
changing higher education landscape, we need to renew our
efforts to increase enrollments. One approach is to to
examine our efforts to provide a strong brand for our
program. This might include a redesign of our website and
our recruiting materials, continued outreach with community
colleges and 4-year universities, and working to sell our
brand.
Financial Stability: Given the increase in costs for students
to attend universities and declining state support, external
financial support is critical. While continued scholarship
donations and support for faculty are important, increasing
discretionary funds at the foundation is crucial.
Discretionary funding allows us to support many initiatives
in the Department.
I would like to thank Jim Young for guiding me in the role
of Assistant Chair and MAS Director the past four years. As
Dennis Barsema noted, I have big shoes to fill. I also
appreciate the support of Denise Schoenbachler, College of
Business Dean. Denise has worked diligently to move the
College forward. I am honored and excited to continue
working on the legacy Jim and Denise have forged at NIU.

DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS VISITS NIU
Three distinguished alumni of NIU Accountancy recently came to campus for a panel discussion focusing on the interface
between an entity’s internal and external audit functions. The speakers were Mr. Melvin Flowers (Microsoft), Ms. Terry
Puchley (PwC), and Mr. Ian Nelson (PwC). Although insights were shared about how an internal audit function interacts
with their external auditors, the highlight of the evening involved the speakers’ extemporaneous
comments about their interesting career paths and life lessons learned that they shared for the
benefit of the students in the audience.
Melvin Flowers earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from NIU in 1975. He has an
impressive background in high-level management positions at a variety of companies. Mr.
Flowers joined Microsoft in 2003, where he serves as corporate Vice President and Chief Audit
Executive for Microsoft. In that role, he oversees the Company’s Internal Audit Department and
Financial Integrity Unit with responsibility for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of
internal controls, risk management, and corporate governance activities.
Terry Puchley earned her bachelor’s degree in finance from NIU in 1982. She then earned her
MBA degree from Loyola University in Chicago. Beginning her career in an audit role, Terry
moved into financial services, becoming Senior Vice President of First Options of Chicago.
She left to join PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she is a Risk Assurance Partner and the
national leader of the firm’s Risk Assurance Health Industries practice, working out of the
firm’s Los Angeles office. As a partner, Terry has expertise in the development of the firm’s
organization-wide risk analysis methodology, performing global risk assessments, managing
complex outsourcing and co-sourcing engagements, and providing internal audit-related
consulting services.
Ian Nelson earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from NIU in 1993. He joined
PricewaterhouseCoopers as an audit professional and was admitted to the partnership in 2004.
Ian is the leader of the financial services assurance practice for PwC’s Chicago practice. In that
role, he oversees approximately 200 professionals serving clients in the financial services
practice in Chicago and the Midwest, which includes Cleveland, Columbus, and Indianapolis,
and which encompasses banks, broker dealers, insurance, investment management, and real
estate clients.
In addition, we were visited by Richard Caturano, 2012-2013 chair
of the American Institute of CPAs (the 100th chair in the AICPA’s history!) and a nationally
prominent partner of McGladrey, associated with the firm’s Boston office. In his role as the
firm’s National Leader of Culture, Diversity and Inclusion, Mr. Caturano spoke eloquently on
“Lessons in Leadership & Inclusion.” NIU faculty and students attending the August 2014 Beta
Alpha Psi annual meeting had the pleasure of meeting Rich in Atlanta, where he was a keynote
speaker. It was a distinct privilege to welcome him to our campus.
In April, Mike Cahill spoke to an auditorium full of NIU accountancy students. Mike received
his undergraduate accountancy degree from NIU in 2012, followed by his Master of
Accounting Science degree in 2013. After graduation, Mike joined Ernst & Young’s
Transaction Advisory Services practice. He applied for a highly competitive one-year
“Postgraduate Technical Assistant” position with the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB), and was selected. As a member of the technical staff of the FASB, Mike assisted in
drafting proposed and final accounting standards updates and conducted market and accounting
research to assist in developing recommendations to improve U.S. accounting standards.

(Continued from page 3)
Mike provided an overview of how FASB operates and discussed the many interesting projects he was part of during his time at
the FASB. He also discussed the technical accounting and research skills that he gained at NIU, including a solid foundation in
financial instruments and derivatives, which he said gave him a competitive advantage in the FASB selection process. He urged
the NIU accountancy students to have confidence in their education and to pursue these sorts of opportunities as well. Among
our guests at Mike’s presentation were Gaylen and Joann Larson. Gaylen is an NIU distinguished alumnus and a former FASB
Board member.
OUTSTANDING ALUMNI HONORED
NIU is privileged to have many outstanding accountancy alums who have achieved tremendous success in their careers. The
support that we receive from our alumni provides a margin of excellence for our students, faculty, and programs. Each year we
honor several alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers and who have provided extraordinary support to the NIU
Accountancy Program.
2014-2015 Outstanding Alumni
Jeff Eckmann
Jeff graduated summa cum laude from NIU’s accountancy program in 1974. Jeff was the
first NIU student in any sport to be named a Division I Academic All-American. In his
senior year, he was also named NIU’s Most Outstanding Student-Athlete and the football
team’s Most Valuable Defensive Player as a defensive linesman. Jeff began his career at
Price Waterhouse and after becoming a manager, moved to Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corporation. During his career at Brown & Williamson and its affiliated companies, Jeff
held a wide variety of positions including Director of Audit, Controller, Vice President of
Strategy.and Chief Financial Officer. When Brown & Williamson merged with R.J.
Reynolds to form Reynolds American, Jeff was responsible for integrating the two
businesses and ultimately served as Group President. In that role he was responsible for four of Reynolds American’s five
business units, corporate strategy, and mergers and acquisitions. Since his retirement in 2008, Jeff has remained active in
the business community by serving on a variety of commercial, professional, educational, community, and charitable
boards (including service on the NIU Foundation Board of Directors).
Julie Figueras
Julie Figueras was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States with her family in
1989. After graduating from NIU in 1994, Julie joined Arthur Andersen as an audit associate
and then moved to Grant Thornton in 2002. Balancing her work and family (she is a mother of
five), Julie was promoted to partner in 2009. With over 20 years of experience in benefit plan
assurance, Julie is now an integral part of Grant Thornton as a knowledgeable specialist in
auditing and reporting matters. Her experiences with career and parenting have influenced her
dedication to gender diversity within the workplace, a passion she has exercised as a member in
the Global Women’s Leadership Forum Steering Committee as well as a driving force behind the
“Women at Grant Thornton in Chicago” initiative. Julie also honors her heritage through her
membership in the Asian-American Executive Network of Chicago and as an executive sponsor

Bob Peterson, a 1978 graduate of NIU’s accountancy program, began his career with
Ernst & Young focusing on manufacturing clients and was promoted to Manager in 1983.
In 1985, Bob joined Farley Industries – a very entrepreneurial organization. Over the
next few years, through a series of acquisitions, Farley’s business grew substantially.
Bob served as Corporate Controller and Vice President during this time and gained
significant experience in mergers and acquisitions and financing. He then became
President of one of Farley’s operating units. In 1995, Bob, together with a private equity
firm, co-founded Norcross Safety Products. At that time, Norcross was a domestic
manufacturer of footwear serving the industrial, fire service and utility/high voltage
markets and had sales of $40 million. Under Bob’s leadership as CEO, Norcross
completed dozens of domestic and international acquisitions which expanded the range of
products offered and geographies served. In 2008, it was the fifth largest safety company

NIU ACCOUNTANCY GRADUATE STUDENTS POST
HIGHEST CPA EXAM PASS RATE IN STATE
The National Association of State Boards of
Accountancy recently released data showing that over
73 percent of 2014 NIU Master’s of Accountancy
students passed the CPA exam on their first attempt.
This is the highest CPA exam pass rate for any
graduate-level program in the state. Those earning
bachelor's degrees in accountancy also fared well,
with 54 percent of them passing all four parts of the
exam. Overall, NIU accountancy students ranked 16th
in the country.
Our graduate accountancy program focuses on critical
thinking, communication and leadership, in addition to
accounting and business knowledge. And while the CPA exam
is the first career milestone, our goal is to prepare them for
their careers, not just the CPA exam. We are fortunate to
consistently attract a strong class of students, comprised of
graduates from our own undergraduate program and many of
the other top programs across the country.
While the 2014 results are difficult to beat, graduates of the
program have a long history of outstanding performance on the
CPA exam. Denise Schoenbachler, Dean of the NIU College
of Business commented: “The performance of our graduate
students last year is amazing, but the best endorsement of the
program is the fact that the best firms in the world compete to
hire our graduates. That is a testament to the quality of the
education our students receive, and the faculty who provide it.”
NIU ACCOUNTANCY STUDENTS EARN HIGH HONORS IN
DELOITTE’S NATIONAL TAX COMPETITION
A team of NIU accountancy students who competed in
Deloitte's national FanTAXtic Case Competition received a
national honorable mention award for their performance. NIU
was one of only 18 teams recognized from a pool of more than
125 competing teams from around the country.
Congratulations to NIU accountancy students Ryne
Brackmann, Jesse Laseman, Chris Lohse, Shanna Metzger,
Michael Williams, along with NIU Accountancy Faculty
Advisor Suzanne Youngberg. As a result of their excellent
work, the Deloitte Foundation will provide $2,000 in student
scholarship support to the NIU Department of Accountancy.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
Dickens famously wrote in his A Tale of Two Cities, a
fitting quote that springs to mind as I pen this letter. For
though once again during this past year I was surrounded
with a talented group of professors and administrative staff
that continued to expertly prepare our candidates for the
CPA Exam, and the feedback from those candidates was
overwhelmingly positive, the sobering fact is that we
simply do not have enough candidates (registrations), so
we are in the process of winding down the NIU CPA
Review. Our last “Live” classroom course (AUD in
Naperville) wrapped up in July 2015, and we provided our
ON-THE-GO materials until the end of September. As an
accommodation to our existing candidates, we’ll continue
to provide support, including being available to answer
questions, through May 2016.
But as we wind down the CPA Review, it’s important
to highlight 2 things that will not change:
Our top-notch professors in our highly-ranked
Accountancy programs will continue to provide
strong preparation for accounting and business
careers, including the education to successfully
pass the CPA exam.
I will continue to be a resource to our CPA-minded
students, providing advice on various aspects of the
CPA exam -- including meeting the state
educational requirements, the best courses to take
as preparation, application process, the exam itself
(which is being re-tooled; new version coming in
2017), licensing, and our pass rates. On that last
note, as some readers already know, our Master’s
students had the highest pass rate in the state for
2014!
Part of my changing role is that I will move from
teaching students at the end of their accounting studies
(as they review for the CPA exam) to working with
them at the foundational beginning – I’ll have the
opportunity to teach Introductory Financial Accounting
(ACCY 206), which I’m looking forward to. Also, I’m
very glad to say I’ll continue teaching in our excellent
MBA program.
Though we are in wind down, as a strong compliment to
our entire Review team, the thanks and effusive praise from
our candidates remains as strong as ever. As an example, a
candidate recently wrote to say: I am glad to inform you
all that I have passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam, and I
can say this without any doubt that it would not have been
possible without the NIU CPA Review program! I would
rate it 10 out of 10. The material and information is
concise and on point, with all the requirements. All of the
professors were outstanding and on top of their respective
sections. Thank you all for everything, you have helped me
achieve my dream!
To all I’ve worked with in the NIU CPA Review -professors, Sue, Mary, and grad assistants -- I cannot
possibly thank you enough! Your work and dedication
to help our students is nothing less than awesome. It
has been my distinct pleasure and privilege to work
with such a great team.
As we look ahead, Sue Anderson (our IT coordinator) will
work in our Advancement office, and Mary Hamell (our
administrative lead) will work next-door in our MBA
office. I also will be staying with the College of Business
(more on this in a second).
Important Date for Employers!

class engaged. He welcomed any type of question and made himself highly available. One of the top
teachers I have had the pleasure of being taught by.” Congratulations, Brad!

Department Outstanding Undergraduate Instructor Awards
Tim Dimond was selected by the Department’s undergraduate accountancy majors to receive the 20142015 Outstanding Undergraduate Instruction Award. Tim went on to receive the University’s 2015
Excellence in Undergraduate Instruction Award. These awards were established to honor excellent
undergraduate teaching in the Department and the University, specifically among non-tenure-track
educators. These awards are given to an instructor who inspires students and stimulates student growth,
applies rigorous standards to student performance, and works actively with students to promote their
learning and understanding. Congratulations, Tim!

ACCOUNTANCY STUDENT GROUPS UPDATE
Accountancy Leadership Advisory Council
Beta Alpha Psi (Gamma Pi Chapter, Founded in 1971)
Accountancy Leadership Advisory Council
(ALAC) members are nominated by student
organization presidents, faculty members, or current
ALAC members for their leadership potential.
This group of students helps the Department by
serving as student liaisons at various Department
events, assisting with an etiquette dinner, talking to
potential students/families at university open houses,
and helping with teaching evaluations. Professor
Rebecca Shortridge serves as the faculty advisor for
ALAC.
NIU’s Gamma Pi Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) has
continued to move forward throughout the 2014-2015
academic year, and remains internationally recognized as a
“Superior Chapter.”
Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and
Accounting
The Association of Latino Professionals in Finance
and Accounting (ALPFA) is a leading national
professional association dedicated to enhancing
opportunities for Latinos in accounting, finance and
related professions. ALPFA is open to professionals
and students of all races and majors who share our
values, mission, and principles. ALPFA NIU's
purpose is to develop the professional skills of its
members by providing activities and events that
promote growth and personal development, build
relationships with business professionals, as well as
create awareness of the accounting and finance
professions within our communities. This is
accomplished by presentations from global business
leaders, national networking conventions, mentorship
programs, community service, and a variety of
cultural/social events. Membership is approximately
30 members. Professor Natalie Churyk is the faculty
advisor.
Ascend: Pan-Asian Leaders in Finance
and Accounting
Ascend is the premier professional organization
dedicated to enabling its members, business partners
and the community to leverage the leadership and
global business potential of Pan-Asians. The goal of
the organization is to generate awareness of the
growing influence of Asians in business globally
while helping its members to be better prepared to
take advantage of this change and grow
professionally. Ascend’s goals are achieved through
professional, social, and service events. Professor
Carol Yu is the faculty advisor.
10
Two distinctive characteristics of Beta Alpha Psi
membership at NIU are (1) at least a 3.2 GPA requirement
associated with academic accomplishment; and (2) a
commitment to at least 8 hours of designated service
activities each semester. In 2014-15, we initiated 34
students into permanent BAP membership.
A group of NIU BAP members participated in the
Midwest Regional Meeting in Indianapolis in March, and
another group represented NIU at the Annual Meeting in
Atlanta last summer. In Atlanta, Mr. Richard Caturano
2012-2013 chair of the AICPA and a nationally prominent
partner in McGladrey, was a keynote speaker. Contact
with Mr. Caturano in Atlanta led to him agreeing to speak
at NIU in October. [More on Mr. Caturano’s visit to NIU
can be found elsewhere in this newsletter.]
We continued to benefit from presentations by outstanding
professionals throughout the year on a variety of
interesting topics. A sample includes the following:
“Having a Service Mindset” (Grant Thornton);
“International Issues in Accounting” (KPMG); “Personal
Branding” (Deloitte); “Enterprise Risk
Management” (Protiviti); “Sustainability
Reporting” (Baxter Healthcare); “Career Leadership
Considerations” (Caterpillar); and “Putting Your GNP
Skills to Work” (Lauterbach & Amen and the U.S.
Government Accountability Office), to name just a few of
the recent BAP programs. The annual “Mock Audit” at
Crowe Horwath’s Oak Brook office each fall continues to
be a very popular and unique event.
Gamma Pi Chapter nominated Dean Denise
Schoenbachler for Beta Alpha Psi’s 2015 Outstanding
Dean Award, and she was selected! Dean Schoenbachler
received this prestigious recognition of her good work and
her support of our student organizations at the August
2015 BAP Annual Meeting in Milwaukee.
Gamma Pi Chapter appreciates the continuing support of
the many NIU alumni and friends who make our
professional programs, service projects, and social events
so meaningful for NIU students. Professor Don Tidrick, a
longtime member of BAP himself, continues to serve as
Gamma Pi’s faculty advisor.
