Objective
FIC3 provides students an experiential learning opportunity to understand the implications of fraudulent financial reporting and the value and relevance of internal controls. This competition is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of the accounting process, system of internal controls and the COSO framework for internal controls. It is also an opportunity to refine presentation skills and network with alumni and local professionals who serve as the coaches and judges.
Kickoff Event
There is a mandatory kickoff event that all registrants must attend to meet their teammates and get the case materials on Monday, February 18th from 4:30-5:30 pm. Check the events calendar for registration and further details.
Day of the Competition
Registration will take place from 8-8:30am. Participants will have a chance to enjoy a continental breakfast and get to know team members and meet their coaches. The program will begin at 8:30am with a guest speaker who will provide vital information for the case.
Each team will have 3.5 hours (9am -12:30pm) to review the case and critical information just provided, formulate their response to the case questions and develop a PowerPoint based presentation. A box lunch will be provided at noon so teams may continue to work on their presentations. Each team must submit an electronic copy of their presentation by 12:30pm. No changes may be made to teams’ PowerPoint presentations after the 12:30pm submission deadline.
Teams will be randomly assigned a 15 minute slot with one of our two panels of judges to present their results. Team presentations will be in 20 minute intervals to allow transitions between 1:00 and 3:30. The top six teams will be announced at the conclusion of the first round of judging. Immediately following this we will release the rest of the group and the top six teams will again be randomly assigned for the final round of judging. Awards will be presented as soon as the judges have reached a decision.
