UOAA Mission
As a student run organization, the UOAA operates as the point of contact between the accounting profession and
student body. We ensure that there are significant resources available in order for students to obtain the most
value from their time spent as a UOIT student. In addition, we look to provide students with more incentives to
participate in on campus and external events as the UOAA understands that these are important for the
development in student professional skills and to enhance the reputation of UOIT. Lastly, our goal is to
demonstrate to our sponsors that we continue to be a reliable promoting source and will assist in the recruitment
of students.
