Celebrating 76 Years!
The Conference of Accountants evolved from a series of annual meetings beginning in 1947 by Professor Emeritus Paul J. Graber. The Collins College of Business at The University of Tulsa acts as host providing event management and facilities (as appropriate) for the event. Since 1950, the Conference has been directed by a Planning Committee composed of representatives of the co-sponsoring professional organizations and by members of TU’s School of Accounting and Computer Information Systems. An Advisory Board, made up of area accounting professionals, provides counsel and assistance. Contact Brett Yeakey for more information.
Each Conference typically includes speakers drawn from organizations that impact accounting policy, including:
- Securities and Exchange Commission
- Federal Reserve Bank
- Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
