Global trade talk for senior accounting students from Utah

Senior Accounting students from Brigham Young University (BYU), Utah, visited Europe and Africa this spring as part of the International Accounting Study abroad program. The trip included a stay in Edinburgh during which Russell Dalgleish was asked to deliver a talk sharing his experiences in global trade.

All students are within 2 years from graduation with many predicted to start careers in the largest four international accounting firms. They came from across the US: California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington DC, and North Carolina and many will request international rotations within their future firms. At this crucial time in their studies, Russell shared his experience in growing an international business, building a global ambassador network and the important role that plays.

'While our students are studying accounting, this international experience was designed to give them cultural perspective and appreciation beyond their understanding of regulatory differences between nations.' - Scott L. Summers Ph.D, Andersen Foundation Professor, BYU
