The Trueblood Audit
Case Study Seminar
Bring it on
Objectives of the competition
The Penn State accounting department and Deloitte are sponsoring the Deloitte Trueblood audit
case study competition. Each year, the Deloitte Foundation sponsors a national student case study
seminar. The seminar offers students the opportunity to discuss relevant, practical issues in
accounting and experience aspects of the professional working environment, including analysis and
research of technical issues, problem solving, group dynamics, presentation skills, interpersonal
skills, and client-auditor interactions. Student teams will analyze a case that requires some
integration of financial accounting, managerial accounting, and general business issues.
Competition details
Approximately 30 Penn State students will be selected to participate in this year’s Trueblood audit
case study competition. The selected students/teams will work with a Deloitte professional and a
Penn State faculty member on a Deloitte Trueblood case. Each team will work to identify issues and
to develop a plan to research them, develop a solution, and prepare a
presentation regarding their case.
