Helping Accounting Students Prepare

Eugene F. Gaughan '67

Eugene F. Gaughan '67, a retired partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers, presently a student at Seton Hall University School of Law, has created the Gaughan Accounting and Auditing Fund to support the academic needs of accounting and auditing students in the Department of Economics. Money from the fund will allow the Accounting Program to purchase and update software that details the accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the auditing standards of the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Most leading accounting programs have this software, which Holy Cross has not been able to purchase until now. The fund will also support the purchase of journal subscriptions, teaching aids, and faculty and student attendance at relevant professional meetings. Gaughan will also continue to support the Holy Cross Fund. He and his wife, Margaret Duffy, also a retired C.P.A., live in Manhattan.
