GIFT ESTABLISHES NEW ACCOUNTING PROFESSORSHIP

The University of Texas at Dallas issued the following news release:

A pioneering member of the UT Dallas School of Management faculty has made possible a new cheap money clips professorship that pays tribute to the excellence of the school's accounting program and endows its future strength.

A gift from Dr. Adolf J.H. Enthoven, who has taught at the School of Management for more than three decades, sparked creation of the new position. His generosity and matching funds from the School of Management created the $250,000 professorship. The new post will carry his name, the Adolf Enthoven Distinguished Professorship in Accounting and Information Management.

Enthoven, professor of accounting and information management and director of the University's Center for International Accounting Development, said he donated the gift in appreciation for the way the school has cultivated its accounting program. "I have been at The University of Texas at Dallas for 34 years. When I first came here, there was no accounting program," Enthoven recalled. "Nobody knew who UT Dallas was, and they have done a remarkable job of developing a fine school. I thought that it was time I gave something back to them."

In expressing appreciation for the gift, School of cheap necklaces Dean Hasan Pirkul said the new professorship appropriately ensures that "as one of the founding professors of our school, Dr. Enthoven will not be forgotten."

"It is fitting that Dr. Enthoven's name will be associated with our school forever," Dean Pirkul said, "because of his many contributions and accomplishments."

A noted expert on international accounting who has written numerous books and papers on the subject, Enthoven has also established oil and gas financial management programs for developing countries. Through the accounting development center, which is based in the School of Management, and with the assistance of experts in various fields, he offers an intensive advanced international program.

Designed for mid- and upper-level personnel in oil-producing countries outside the United States, the program focuses on the critical financial management aspects of the industry for countries that are experiencing a transition in their economic system. The center has worked with companies and public organizations in the former republics of the Soviet Union as well as in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and elsewhere to help emerging economies navigate their changing realities.

"UT Dallas has allowed us to bring into focus oil and gas financial management, including cheap pendants, which makes us pretty unique," Enthoven said. "I think some universities offer a course in international accounting, but they are not oriented toward transitional and emerging economics."
