Brooklyn, N.Y. — "Preventing Future Enrons: The Outlook
for Business in the United States" will be the topic addressed
by KPMG managing partner, Frank Ross, at a lecture at Long Island
University's Brooklyn Campus.
Long Island University President David Steinberg will open the
gathering and introduce Ross, an alumnus of the university who
became the first African-American managing partner at KPMG, the
worldwide professional services firm.
Ross will describe his experiences as well as how business leaders
can prevent future Enron-type business debacles and what individuals
can do to protect themselves financially.
Ross also is a founding member of the National Association of
Black Accountants. The 3,000-member professional organization
was formed at a time when less than 200 African-Americans were
in the accounting industry.
The lecture will take place on Thursday, October 31, at noon
in the Humanities Building, Room H206, and is free and open to
the public.
It is sponsored by the Brooklyn Campus's School of Business,
Public Administration and Information Services, where 1,500 students
study all aspects of business, technology and leadership.
