Smu Asoc (Accounting Society)

ASoc strives to establish an integrative culture for BAcc students and promote an environment for holistic development. It organises exciting events such as ASoc Freshmen Camp for the incoming BAcc freshmen, providing them a platform to integrate into SMU’s culture. One of their biggest night events, ASoc Night, serves to foster stronger bonds amongst Accountancy students. With a fun-filled night of food, drinks and entertainment, ASoc’s birthday is celebrated and the ASoc pageantees also impress the crowd with their performances. Another aspect of ASoc’s mission is to ensure the holistic development of BAcc students. With events such as ASoc Axplore and Alumnight, these give students opportunities to link up with professional bodies, private sector companies and BAcc alumni working in various sectors. In addition, ASoc occasionally organises corporate visits to allow BAcc students to understand the companies’ cultures and opportunities they offer for them. To guide students through their course of study, ASoc also organises “Plan Ahead” workshops and publishes yearly guidebooks such as Freshman Handbook, Module Difficulty Guidebooks and Senior’s Handbook catered to BAcc students across all years of study. ASoc is also highly involved in community service programmes, organising Project Moolah for the 9th year. Project Moolah aims to inculcate the importance of financial literacy to secondary school students. Another project that ASoc prides itself in is the SMU-MCCY Transparency Assessment. In this project, BAcc students serve as student assessors for hundreds of charities, promoting the importance of good corporate governance practices and fair disclosures.
