 DCU's Accounting and Finance Society held a networking event with KPMG last Wednesday. The Accounting and Finance Society is known across campus for hosting large and lavish events like the popular A&F Ball. The networking night took place in DCU's new bar for budding entrepreneurs. Students could connect with KPMG professionals while also enjoying free beer and pizza. The company also handed out free tips on their desirable grad program. We spoke to Keith Boucher, the vice chair of the society, to find out why A&F teamed up with KPMG this year. They're setting this up just to talk to students and have it very informal. They wanted to have free beer, free pizza, so people kind of want to take the intimidation factor out of, oh no, I have to be super professional, I have to go and meet these crinkly old KPMG heads. When it's actually not the case at all, they want to set a completely relaxed environment and that's very much what they kind of appeal to when you're in KPMG. The graduate program is the lowest student, it's a really good society. KPMG is one of the biggest auditing companies in the world. The A&F Society or a new society we've got on board with this year and it's probably one of the first societies we've worked with in a while in DCU and our graduate applications are coming to a close now, so just one week before the deadline approaches. So we really thought it was a great opportunity to get out on campus, try and promote it in a more casual environment and just let students come and just ask any questions they feel in a more relaxed environment. Chairperson Karl McGovern explained that the society wanted to become bigger and better this year. I really encourage people to get involved in the society because it's good fun and it also helps you out.
