Accountants a bore no more Film contest to let accounting students show off creativity By EMMA CRAWFORD hartered accountants are cre- ative, exciting and dynamic - anything but dull, bookish num- ber-crunchers. The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants is hoping to smash that stubborn stereotype with a film con- test, asking students to show what an accounting career would mean to them. “They are aiming their message at young, intelligent people they want to attract into the profession,” said Aziz Rajwani, a CA and instructor in Langa- ra College’s management department. “They are trying to attract the cream of the crop.” Rajwani said the contest is an at- tempt to break the image of accoun- tants being dull and having poor social skills, and that the CICA is targeting aspiring professionals who are well- rounded rather than just studious. The theme of the contest is “A Glimpse Into Your Future.” The final- ists’ entries will be posted on YouTube. The CICA is looking for creative and original films under two-and-a-half minutes that incorporate the profes- sion’s values, expressed on the website www.becomeaca.ca as “exceptional standards” for “analytical and investi- gative” skills. “Accounting jobs are always in high demand,” said Malcolm Weed, a fourth- year commerce student who is major- ing in accounting. He is considering pursuing the CA designation. “It’s really safe and in the long run it pays really well.” Weed said he may be interested in participating. He said he agrees it is important the films be light-hearted to challenge the perception that accoun- tants are boring, and the contest must be an attempt by the CICA to try to ap- pear a little more “loose.” “You would have to make it enter- taining,” said Weed. “You have to add a little comedy to it.” CA is one of three accounting desig- nations in Canada, with Certified Man- agement Accountants and Certified General Accountants being alterna- tives. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 30 at noon and the prize will be $2,500. Finalists will be announced on Dec. 16 and the winner, who will be deter- mined by the highest number of “likes,” will be revealed on Jan. 23, 2012.
