PwC INQuires Program

PwC INQuires is a program of funding for applied research. PwC initiated this program in the Spring of 2007 to assist faculty and PhD students seeking to increase the knowledge base that contributes to the practice of auditing and tax. For the 2009 PwC INQuires program, we will be awarding $180,000 to 18 researchers bringing our three year total of funding to over $1.2 million to 70 researchers.

We are pleased to congratulate the professors with the winning proposals for 2009.
