Welcome to Ledger & Quill
Welcome to Ledger & Quill, the friends and alumni philanthropic organization in support of the School of Accountancy and MIS at DePaul University, and to the Ledger & Quill website. On these pages you'll discover who we are and what we do, but in brief L&Q supports the School, DePaul, our students and the profession: we "attract the best, educate the best, and graduate the best" accounting students.
There is no better way for recent accounting alumni to particpate with DePaul than through Ledger & Quill and it's social events, member receptions, and casual networking opportunities. Looking to get involved? Join us--just "Talk to L&Q." And now Ledger & Quill is on Linkedin . . . . join us there, too!

School offers CPA Review online:
The College and the School of Accountancy are pleased to announce that the DePaul CPA Review courses are now being offered online. Taught week-by-week using a combination of video, text, downloadable content, quizzes and discussion, students will never need to be online at a specific time. The online program is ideal for working CPA candidates looking for thorough, flexible exam preparation as well as the quality and rigor of the DePaul CPA exam review and review faculty. The program provides up to 8 semester hours, and also includes discounts on Wiley Online CPA Review Tools. For more information and a sample module, visit the School's CPA Review site.
The L&Q General Journal . . . now by e-mail
And our newest offering to members--an email General Journal--will be issued to those members whose email addresses we have. The newsletter is more timely than the print issue (we're considering a quarterly issue), delivered right to your inbox, and far less expensively than print-and-mail--which is good news for our scholarship capacity! Current members of L&Q can easily subscribe: "Talk to L&Q," simply enter your name, the word "SUBSCRIBE," leave your email, and it's done. Not yet a member, and interested in joining us right away? Visit the Ledger & Quill contributions portal and make a contribution to Ledger & Quill (or any of our many scholarship programs), and you'll be added to our member roster automatically.
