while networking with industry professionals. These professionals
will consist of representatives from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young,
KPMG, Deloitte, CGA, CMA, CPA and ICAO, as well as other Accounting
students from respected universities. Our competition begins on Thursday
evening where teams will be greeted before they will be given the agenda

Each team should compose of four people. Universities are welcome to
enter more than one team to a maximum of two teams per school. This
would be an excellent opportunity for your University to compete with
other top students from across the province and leave a lasting
impression on the firm representatives (judges) and industry
professionals. This is a competition like no other and should not be
missed! Winners will be announced at the end of the weekend where a
cash prize of $1500 will be awarded to the top placing team and
medallions to teams placing second.
