Financial Accounting Stars Banquet - Title Sponsor $3,000; Supporting Sponsors $500
The Financial Accounting Stars Banquet – aptly nicknamed “FASB” – celebrates and recruits the top 10% of students enrolled in Auburn’s ACCT 2110/2117 Principles of Financial Accounting course. This highly selective event honors students who have demonstrated exceptional aptitude for accounting at the earliest stage of their academic journey, making it one of the most strategic talent pipelines available to sponsors. Since the FASB’s inception in 2015, over 60% of attendees have declared accounting as their major, proving the event’s effectiveness in converting top talent. The banquet is held twice annually – late October/early November and late March/early April – and brings together the semester’s highest achievers with Beta Alpha Psi members and accounting professionals in a formal recognition setting.
