Accounting Applications

 

Accounting Applications is a role-play event. The student is given a description of a specific situation that measures skills, knowledge and attitudes in accounting applications. Students will be challenged to perform marketing and management functions and tasks focusing on the application of financial data to business planning, including collection and organization of data, development and use of reports, and analysis of data to make business decisions. Concepts include understanding the source and purpose of financial statements, the impact of management decisions on statements, and the analysis and interpretation of data for planning purposes. Roles in these events are those of supervisors, managers or entrepreneurs.

The student studies the situation for 10-minutes and responds to the issues involved through interaction with a business/industry professional (judge). The role of the student and of the judge will be determined by the specific role-play situation.

Preliminary round competition includes one comprehensive exam and one role-plays. A second role-play activity will be given to finalists.
