today.”
Accounting and Financial Reporting Conference
The AFRC brings together national and regional experts, Financial Accounting Standards
Board and Securities and Exchange Commission officials, corporate financial executives,
CPAs and academics to discuss current issues in accounting.
“I look forward to the OSU Accounting and Financial Reporting Conference every year,
both personally and professionally,” said Lisa Rambo, vice president of business development

topics that really resonate with our work and focus here at Embark.
“I appreciate how they explore different ways of presenting and keep the subject matter
dynamic. Between outstanding topics, great presenters, and wonderful attendees, the
conference is always a perfect time to learn, expand perspectives and reconnect with
colleagues and friends.”

Smith Washington from OSU speaking about diversity, equity and inclusion. A panel
