ECU Accounting Students Earn Top Honors at National Internal Auditing Conference

Three standout students from East Carolina University’s College of Business accounting program—Philycia Carmen, Jaden Jones and Skylar Sustek—recently represented ECU at the prestigious Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Global Student Conference in Orlando, Florida.

The multi-day event brought together top internal audit students from across the country for leadership sessions, panel discussions with industry professionals and a rigorous student audit case competition designed to simulate real-world auditing challenges.

Out of 18 competing teams, ECU students contributed to the teams that placed first and third—demonstrating their technical skills, professionalism and ability to collaborate with peers from diverse academic backgrounds. This achievement reflects the excellence of ECU students and the strength of the College of Business’s accounting program.

Join us in congratulating these outstanding students on their national recognition and continued commitment to the field of internal auditing!
