Ernst & Young Partner Mike Mannisto (left) presented ICCI Dean Scott Cummings a cheque for CI$18,500 which covers a three year period to help fund the academic chair for a full-time professor in accounting.

“Our firm puts high value on academic achievement,” said Mr. Mannisto. “For more than 30 years we have encouraged Caymanian students to perform to their full potential.

“By supporting this ICCI initiative we are continuing to help students achieve their academic goals,” Mr Mannisto added.

Mr Cummings said: “Having Ernst & Young’s support has significantly boosted our fundraising efforts for the academic chair, which will be invaluable in providing the best possible opportunity for success to our business and accounting students.”
