Abstract
The article discusses that participation of accounting students in case study competitions gives them a competitive edge in the workplace. It says that an accounting team from University of Southern Indiana (USI) joined the 2008 Institute of Management Accountants (IMA®) Student Case Competition which required participants to develop accounting processes for nonprofit organizations. It mentions that students in an Indiana CPA Society (INCPAS) competition were asked to study a certified public accountant (CPA) firm model. It states that students have the chance to develop their oral and written communication skills through case study competitions. Moreover, case study participant Andrew Eddmenson notes that the competitions provided him with confidence and motivation.
