I've just check the faculty list of Accounting Department of MSU and find that there's no professor whose name is Bill McCarthy. I think the right name is William E. McCarthy who posed REA accounting model.
I was informed by Shannon that she has been out sick since last Tuesday and just got back to office. I believe you will receive email regarding the interview reschedule soon.
This year she got 450 applications but only has one part-time student working for her. Plus she is pregnant.
