She was authentic and warm—a role model for my future teaching. As an auditor at Ernst \u0026amp; Young, I earned my CPA designation and experienced business and networking firsthand. Next, I held a dual role at the beautiful Western University: Accountant by day in Financial Services, and accounting lecturer in the evening. Soon enough, I became a full-time lecturer. In addition, a 10+ year instructor role with CPA Ontario, preparing students for their professional exams, was pivotal to my development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAMY J. FREDIN, PHD, CPA, CIA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy story begins in a small town in western Minnesota, where I grew up with music and sports, camping and boating, family time and fierce friendships. I studied music and accounting at the College of St. Benedict and from there worked in public accounting and obtained my CPA. I then went back to school for my MBA at St. Cloud State University. While completing that degree, I started teaching in the accounting program at Alexandria Technical College. It was there that my love for teaching began.\u003cbr\u003eFive years later, my story moves to Nebraska, where I pursued a PhD in accounting at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln (go Big Red!). After I completed that degree, St. Cloud State invited me back, this time to join the Accounting Department as a faculty member. In my more than a dozen years so far at SCSU, I have enjoyed teaching, researching, working with students and colleagues, leading case discussions in executive training programs, and connecting with employers in the community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amy Fredin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42838999236669,"sku":"9781119731863","price":291.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781119731863_3ebd01cb-2458-4265-aeb1-0553a13e80c6.jpg?v=1766951825","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/cost-accounting","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
