The UB Accounting Association (UBAA) opens an entire realm of experiences to students. Your opportunities are only limited by your imagination and self-drive.
We host activities and events that develop networking, communication, and teamwork skills, and provide insight into career paths available in the accounting field. Through mentorship opportunities, technical presentations and community and social events, members gain the chance to improve those skills in enjoyable and creative ways.
UBAA is affiliated with the Institute of Internal Auditors, which helps broaden student knowledge and provide members with personal and professional development opportunities through education, association with area business professionals, and professional certification in internal auditing.
Simply put, we are a club by the students, for the students. We are a community of students eager to help each other succeed and grow personally and professionally as we move through the accounting program.
Mentorship
We offer a peer to peer mentor program and the opportunity to be paired with an industry professional on the Accounting Advisory Council.
