Advisory Board

The primary function of the advisory board is to determine the most salient issues in accounting and security analysis. Accordingly, the board selects the projects to which CEASA devotes resources, effort and expertise. By establishing the center's research priorities, the board ultimately determines how CEASA will shape and enhance financial reporting and security analysis practices.
