Concentration in Sustainable Reporting

A new, standardized language is needed to articulate material non-financial risks as well as opportunities facing companies today. Both financial and non-financial risks affect a corporation's ability to create long-term value. Thus, reporting should include the way companies compete, use resources, and impact society.

The concentration in sustainable reporting enables students to further develop analytic tools and effective communication capabilities pertaining to this expanding field of study. Earning this unique concentration can better position you for careers not only in accounting but also in financial service-related fields that focus on non-financial considerations.

This concentration is only available to Gabelli School of Business students at Rose Hill pursuing a major in public accounting or public accountancy.

Students can complete this concentration as part of their major in public accounting or public accountancy without any additional courses.
