Mission

The Accounting Society is an organization comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students that are currently attending or planning on attending Fairleigh Dickinson University in the future. The purposes of the Accounting Society are to:

1.        Broaden student members’ knowledge about current events related to accounting

2.       Enhance professional and career development skills, and

3.       Promote friendly relations between students, faculty, and alumni within the Fairleigh Dickinson University family.

The Accounting Society will help better prepare the students at Fairleigh Dickinson University to be creative, dedicated, and hard-working business professionals. We see accounting as a vital part of business and hope to make our peers in the Accounting Society the best prepared candidates for the variety of challenges and opportunities that they will face in their future professional career.

Activities

The Accounting Society offers professional development activities such as presentations on various accounting topics, job interviewing, and more information on FDU’s 150 hour accounting program.

Past Events

Becker CPA Review Lecture on Federal Taxation by John Dispenzierie on February 1, 2007

The Accounting Society organized a lecture on Federal Taxation by Becker CPA Review Professor John Dispenzerie. John spoke at length on the filing process for Federal Tax returns, the basics of computing taxable income for individual tax payers; and provided valuable insights into the CPA profession. JoAnn Veiga, the Regional Marketing Manager for Becker CPA Review, briefed students on the role of Becker CPA Review classes in preparing accounting students to pass the CPA examination. The event was a great success because of the informal atmosphere and a good turnout of students, who enjoyed taxes along with pizza and sodas! One of the students also won a raffle for the Becker CPA Tutorials!
