Introduction

The Accounting Association is a student organization that is opened to all students with the interest in the accounting, information systems, and finance majors. With the help of a faculty advisor, the elected officers work to the enhancement of the organization for its members. Some of the areas of interest provided to members are opportunities to network with professionals in the accounting, information system, and finance worlds, member socials, interaction with professors of the Kent State University Accounting Department, and information to aid members with their careers here at Kent State.

Activities

Some of the activities that are available for the members are weekly general meetings that have professional speakers that talk about topics in the accounting world, social interactions with members of the Accounting Association and members of other colleges around the state of Ohio, an annual golf outing, and a year end spring banquet.

All of the social activities that are presented throughout the semester usually are free to members. If there is a cost, it is the lowest possible cost for members.

Requirements

There is only one requirement to join the Accounting Association. That is an interest in the fields of accounting, information systems, and finance. No matter what GPA of academic standing or grade level, any student can join our organization. There is a small payment of dues that can be handled per semester or for the whole year that covers costs of activities and food provided to its members.

The due requirements can be paid either on a yearly basis or a semester basis. If a member wishes to pay the yearly price it is $40.00 and the semester price is the low rate of $25.00. Payment can either be made by check or cash. There are installment plans available to members. Please contact the Treasurer for more information.
