ACCOUNTING SOCIETY

USM Accounting Society is an organization founded on 4th February 2002. The society serves as a platform that students can utilize to gain knowledge and experience beyond lecture halls and academics. It provides the opportunity for proactive students to reach their realm of success through events and activities geared towards helping to better equip them.

The main objective of the society is to organize accounting-related activities for the students of the School of Management, especially accounting students. The society also strives to develop direct networks between professional accounting bodies and students in order to acquire a better understanding of accounting fields. In addition, it also connects with audit firms and external organizations to facilitate the placement of students for internships and to increase the likelihood of employment after graduation.The society rebranded itself in September 2016 with a new logo and tagline, “Per Aspera Ad Astra” a Latin phrase symbolizing “through hardships to the stars”. With that, it signifies the society’s goal of achieving a more prominent position in the competitive business world and academic community.
