The Financial Reporting Roundtable, founded in 2007, is a peer-to-peer networking and information-sharing group sponsored by the School of Accountancy.  Corporate members of the Roundtable are the accounting executives responsible for external financial reporting by the largest public corporations headquartered in Georgia. In addition, each of the Big-4 audit firms is a member.

The Roundtable typically meets seven times a year, either virtually or in person. The topics of these meetings are current issues facing the members including recent accounting standards, SEC compliance issues, implementation of new technology, and general management best practices. During these meetings, Roundtable members can discuss best practices and learn how other corporate accounting groups are dealing with the current challenges in corporate financial reporting. Attendees to the meetings receive continuing education credit (CPE). The meetings also provide an excellent networking opportunity for participants.

The School of Accountancy hosts one meeting a year, typically in the fall. During these meetings, a prominent government regulator or accounting standard setter is invited to address the group.

Roundtable members are frequent visitors to accounting classes, appearing as guest speakers and on panel discussions. The Roundtable also provides an opportunity for the School of Accountancy and the Coles College to partner with these corporate executives and audit partners to fund scholarships, offer internships, and provide other benefits to the university and students.
