The Accounting Club was established in 2020, primarily for PSUT Accounting students. The club aims to assist these students by giving them courses that reinforce the material taken within their major and providing them with opportunities for practical training (internships) to increase direct contact with the labor market in general and the Big Four companies in particular. Furthermore, the club introduces students to and educates them about professional certificates in accounting such as (CPA, CMA, CFA), and encourages participation in national and international accounting competitions.
