Since our inception in 1983, ASUT (pronounced ah-soot) has been dedicated to educating students about the multitude of opportunities in the accounting profession, while fostering relationships between students and members of the professional community. That being said, 2005/2006 marks the return of such popular events as Accounting For Dummies and Firm Factor (formerly Meet the Survivors) as well as our in-house publication, InSight Magazine. This year, we also launch a brand new website, and introduce an interactive online newsletter jam-packed with up to date event listings and industry news. Lastly, keep your eyes peeled for a host of newly themed events, as well as several joint endeavors with CSA, UFA, UTMA and ODA.
