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 Santa Clara and San Jose State universities, 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 Santa Clara and San Jose State universities.
If you would like to be a mentor for a campus ambassador in your area, please contact Melissa Thornton.
