The 2011 AICPA Accounting Competition asks college students to flex their fraud and forensic skills in advising a client on a major overseas expansion. The top three teams strut their stuff in Washington D.C., and the one that does the best job keeping the project on track—and on the right side of the law—gets a very legal $10,000.
Submissions are due Sept. 30.

CalCPA is launching Campus Ambassadors at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which will consist of one student representative from each campus. Ambassadors will share the benefits of joining CalCPA with their fellow students and receive unique opportunities to network with established CPA professionals—and potential future employers. This partnership will also help CalCPA build stronger relationships with accounting educators and students, as well as promote the accounting profession and CPA license.
For Campus Ambassadors to succeed, we need a CPA mentor for each campus ambassador. The mentor will advise the student and introduce him or her to CalCPA members at chapter functions. Beginning in the fall, CalCPA will be accepting Campus Ambassador applications from students enrolled at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
If you would like to be a mentor for a campus ambassador in your area, please contact Melissa Thornton.

Count on our Future is a new CalCPA outreach event designed to reach more than 10,000 students statewide with our financial literacy presentations in a single week this November. We hope this will help schools, teachers, parents, and students recognize the importance of budgeting, saving and investing, managing credit and much more. With the next generation entering universities and the workplace facing new economic challenges, we want to get people excited to incorporate ongoing financial literacy presentations and materials into their classrooms.

Participants in the Grassroots Program are CalCPA members who recognize the difference that individuals can make in the legislative process on behalf of the profession, their clients and the public. Legislators often base decisions upon communications they receive from constituents, so it is essential for CalCPA members to establish a connection with their elected representatives.
