2009 Accounting Student Forum

'... a magnificent day for year 12 Accounting students'

The Accounting Student Forum held on Friday 6 February 2009 at QUT Gardens Point was again a huge success with approximately 750 year 12 Accounting students attending from schools as far away as Rockhampton, Kingaroy, Hervey Bay, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast as well as Brisbane and surrounding districts. Students attended sessions on investing, electronic commerce, decision making using Accounting as well as sessions on Accounting as a profession and choosing Accounting as a career.

We would like to thank our sponsors: CPA Australia, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and Reckon (Quickbooks) for their participation in order to make it a fun day not only for the students but also for the supervising teachers as well.

The organising BEAQ sub-committee would like to thank all the people who helped on the day, both BEAQ executive members and QUT School of Accountancy staff. Without their help this day would not be possible. Lastly, a big vote of thanks should go to Sandra Kenman, who has been involved in running the Accounting Student Forum since it began in 2002.
