This month, the Accounting Club has an exciting lineup of events for students to attend.

The session ended with a Q&A session where younger members had the opportunity to ask any questions about courses, clubs, or general career questions. On October 21st, professional leaders from BDO, one of the largest global accounting and advisory firms, are coming to speak to members of the Accounting Club and offer more information on its core services in assurance, tax, advisory/consulting, and business services and outsourcing.
