Braden Professorship in Accounting and Auditing, was named this year’s KPMG Mentoring Award recipient.
KPMG created the mentoring award to honor a special mentor who has affected the lives of students in accounting. The selection is grounded on the impact the individual has had over a period of ten years through demonstrated activities of support to students.
“This recognition is well deserved,” said Tom King, department chair, department of accountancy at the Weatherhead School of Management. “Students appreciate Tim’s guidance and genuine support in advancing their careers.”
