BIO
Paul Munter, Acting Chief Accountant of the Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA) at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to Ifshin Hall Thursday, spoke in April 2022 as our 2022 MAcc Director's Speaker Series special guest. Dr. Munter talked to the mission of the SEC and role of OCA to uphold their mission of protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation.
His engaging talk touched on many aspects of the financial markets and what is important to their efficient operation, including the need for “clean” accounting, financial data, and reporting that instills trust in investors. In addition, he noted how technology is increasingly enabling both the delivery and consumption of that information.
Prior to joining the SEC staff, Dr. Munter served as professor of accounting at the University of Miami and a national office partner of audit quality and professional practice for KPMG. He earned his PhD in accounting from the University of Colorado, Boulder and his B.S. and M.S. in accounting from Fresno State University. He is a CPA in Colorado, New York, and Florida.
