Accounting Professor Earns National Appointments
Associate Professor of Accounting Andrew Felo was appointed to two national roles within the Institute of Management Accountants.
Felo was appointed to the IMA’s committee on ethics, which maintains thought policies, thought leadership and intellectual property related to IMA’s Statement of Ethical Professional Practices. The committee also provides input on ethical issues in professional development and commentary on draft pronouncements by regulatory bodies and other organizations. His second appointment was to IMA’s research foundation advisory board, which reviews research grant applications to improve accounting and financial management.
“As a professor, maintaining professional affiliations is essential for staying current with industry trends, regulatory changes and best practices. These connections not only enrich my teaching but also help me guide students toward meaningful career opportunities,” Felo says. “One of the most important things about being an IMA member is adhering to the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice. As a certified management accountant, I am required to complete 30 hours of continuing professional education each year, which also helps me stay up to date on current practices in the field.”
Felo’s appointments benefit 体育买球官网’s business school students by bridging the gap between theory and practice, ensuring they receive timely industry insights and real-world applications that enhance their career readiness.
As a result of his IMA membership, Felo has received grant funding to conduct academic research and develop future research ideas and full access to its data collections for studies. He will also be granted free access to case studies to teach in his classes at 体育买球官网.
Felo earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bucknell University before going on to earn his master’s and doctoral degrees in accounting from the State University of New York at Binghamton. He holds credentials as a certified management accountant, certified finance manager and certified fraud examiner.
