“The Gabelli School of Business is a thought leader in business and accounting education that truly promotes the value of ethics and best practices in an industry that is undergoing unprecedented change,” said David Powell, F.C.A., chief executive of CAW Network USA. “It is closely aligned with CAW Network USA’s mission, and we are looking forward to collaborating on a number of initiatives. Chartered Accountants have a key role in driving positive change and ensuring accountability to help the world towards a more sustainable and resilient future.”

Barbara M. Porco, PhD, clinical professor, associate dean of graduate studies, and director of the Center for Professional Accounting Practices at the Gabelli School, who was instrumental in brokering the partnership, said, “As an institution of higher learning that is fully focused on responsible and ethical business and accounting practices, we are thrilled to become a partner of the CAW Network USA, an organization that is doing so much to elevate the profile of the Chartered Accountant qualification in the United States.”
