APSU business faculty help to form Clarksville Accounting Club

Clarksville, TN – In an effort to bring the Austin Peay State University College of Business together with members of the business community, accounting faculty have helped to organize the new Clarksville Accounting Club.

Lesley H. Davidson, instructor of accounting in the College of Business, said the club plans to meet eight to 10 times a year, with most meetings to be offered in conjunction with opportunities for continuing professional education (CPE) credit.

The club, whose membership currently includes about 20 certified public accountants (CPAs) from Clarksville and the surrounding area, met for its first formal meeting October 26th. After the luncheon meeting, Steve Springer, a CPA, presented a 2010 tax update for the CPE session.

The Clarksville Accounting Club will meet again December 7th in the Kimbrough Building on the APSU main campus for a lunch-and-learn event. The CPE session will be presented by Dr. Kathy Riggs with the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy. Her topic will be ethics for Tennessee CPAs.
