One of the largest professional services firms in the world has pledged $1 million to the University of Georgia's School of Accounting.

Ernst & Young is donating the money to help further the school's research, student organizations and scholarships. UGA has more than 200 alumni working at Ernst & Young.

The gift was coordinated by John Schraudenbach, a partner in Ernst & Young's Atlanta firm and a graduate of UGA's accounting program.
