Accounting Association

The Western Accounting Association was created to meet the demands of students interested in the accounting profession. WAA provides students with the opportunity to explore the Chartered Professional Accountant designation and learn the requirements of either program. The club primarily acts as a liaison between professional firms, accounting bodies and students by offering information sessions, useful resources and tools that aid professional development and sending members to competitions such as the Chartered Professional Accountants Ontario’s CPA Challenge and Chartered for Finance Conference. WAA also sends multiple students to external case competitions, and hosts a number of in-house networking events to build relations between students and major accounting firms. We help you network with professionals in the industry so that you can be successful when recruiting for internships and full time jobs!
