KPMG Case Study Competition
The KPMG/ALPFA competition has become an extremely popular event that presents accounting students with the challenge of resolving real-world accounting issues in a collegial and competitive environment. It provides students with the opportunity to work with KPMG advisors, better understand the demands and rewards of the accounting profession, and network with finance and accounting professionals from across the United States.
The 2011 format will begin with three first-round competitions held during the national ALPFA convention. Students from schools throughout the United States will participate in these initial competitions for the right to move on to the National Finals competition. The first-round competitions will be on Sunday, August 7. The top two teams from each of those competition rooms will go on to compete in the Finals competition the next day on Monday, August 8, along with the national winner and runner-up teams from the previous year.
Participation in the case study competition also allows your team to fully participate in ALPFA’s National Convention. Students will be exposed to professionals from all over the country who work in a variety of accounting and finance related positions. All student and faculty advisor travel expenses, including airfare and hotel, will be paid for by KPMG. In addition to covering your convention registration fee, ALPFA is also providing one-year free memberships to all students and faculty who participate in this competition.
Eligibility requirements:
· Hispanic/Latino descent;
· Accounting major;
· Graduating in spring/summer of 2012 or later;
· Minimum GPA of 3.3.
Deadline to participate is Friday, February 4. No résumés will be accepted after that date.
