The Accounting for Social Impact Research Group at the Auckland University of Technology will host the Accounting for Social Impact Case Competition on Friday, 26 November 2021. The event aims to promote students’ understanding of how accounting technologies and practices can be used to develop innovative solutions to address real-world problems.

The competition is an opportunity for students to explore key social issues of interest, identify roles of accounting in understanding the issues and achieving social impact, and suggest innovative solutions to address social issues.

Teams of students from New Zealand; Australian; and Pacific Island universities were invited to submit their cases to be reviewed by a panel of judges representing the accounting profession, including academics and practitioners.

From the submissions received, the top-rated case writers will present their case before the judging panel at the online Event Friday, 26 November 2021.

Representatives from key societal stakeholder groups will also be in attendance. Prizes will be awarded to the top three winning teams. One prize will also be awarded to the overall winner for the most innovative case.

While registrations for Team entry submissions is closed, individual registrations are still open for individuals representing industry and practitioners; and the tertiary community across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific. The deadline for Individual registrations is noon, Thursday, 25 November 2021. Up to 10 attendees can be registered using the Registration link.
