A team of Ashland University students emerged as a finalist at the recent Intercollegiate Ethics Case Competition, sponsored by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
Emily Mark, Victoria Baker and Tristan Reichelderfer attended the competition at Cleveland State University, in which collegiate teams were charged coming up with analyses and recommendations related to illegal hiring, data theft and cheating at Big 4 accounting giant KPMG.
