The 2013 Annual Meeting kicks off with two opportunities for our membership to participate in community service efforts for the Anaheim area: • First, those participants selected for Project Run With It, sponsored by Moss Adams LLP, will develop proposal presentations for two deserving local area not-for-profit organizations in response to requests for assistance with special projects, and • On Thursday, all remaining annual meeting participants will have the opportunity to participate in our annual Community Service Day (CSD). This year, CSD is a collaboration between Beta Alpha Psi, KPMG LLP, KPMG Foundation, First Book, and United Way of Orange County. We are hosting Literacy Fairs at six Boys and Girls Clubs and three elementary schools serving children from low-income families in the Anaheim and Garden Grove areas as well as hosting an event at a nursery school that will involve a special activity. This exceptional opportunity will allow us to engage directly with the children in a variety of fun activities that will hopefully bring out the inner child in each of us. During our Literacy Fair, every child will have a book read to them and will then receive a new book to take home. For many of these students, this will be the first book that they have ever owned. In addition to these two events that reinforce Beta Alpha Psi’s commitment to giving back to the community, the meeting’s remaining programming, networking and events are structured to reinforce the fundamental concepts behind building relationships with peers and professionals; recognizing and rewarding scholastic success; developing mental toughness; instilling commitment to lifelong professional development; ethical behavior; service and developing leadership skills through the following sessions: • Presentations created by your peers to help you effectively and efficiently run your chapters; • Competence-building sessions delivered by the BAP Professional Partners; • Keynote addresses that will inspire you, light your imagination, and provide innovative ideas for you to consider; • Expert panel discussions; and • Networking opportunities with professionals, exhibitors, faculty advisors and fellow students. 2 | Annual Meeting Guide WElcome Letter Competitions and awards are an integral part of the annual meeting and will include: • Gold Chapter Challenge and Superior Chapter Awards – sponsored by KPMG LLP and The KPMG Foundation • Best Practices Competition – sponsored by Deloitte LLP • Project Run With It Competition – sponsored by Moss Adams LLP • Business Information Professional of the Year Awards – sponsored by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) • Diversity Awards – sponsored by Ernst & Young LLP • Ethics Awards – sponsored by Grant Thornton LLP • Medal of Inspiration Award – sponsored by the AICPA • Outstanding Faculty Advisor Awards – sponsored by McGladrey LLP • VITA Awards – sponsored by the IRS • Outstanding Dean Award • Most Improved Chapter Award Thank you for attending.

Location: Garden 1 Presenter: Richard Spencer, Head of Sustainability, ICAEW The last four years has seen a flurry of activity around how to mainstream sustainability disclosures from the publication of King 3 in South Africa, embedding sustainability reporting in corporate disclosure in South Africa to the establishment of the IIRC, the launch of the Global Reporting Initiative G4 guidance, the UK government introducing mandatory greenhouse gas disclosure and the launch of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board in the USA. The establishment of SASB raises the question of how the USA will relate to the rest of the world on this topic. Is the USA going it alone? This session will address three major questions • What are the drivers for sustainability disclosures? • How should these be integrated (or not) into mainstream reporting? • How will we achieve a global consensus? 1-06.
