workshops in a given area of corporate finance or accounting and discuss what makes their
department unique, and shed light into what it is like to be a part of your firm. Workshops on our

Hedging, and Internal Audit. Workshops on our Saturday offer the ability to make your firm and
your people more the focal point, with sessions specific to CFO in the Strategic Interface, the
CFO in Investor Relations, the CFO entering the (-suite, and the CFO in Business Planning.

talented delegates. During our Championship Saturday, your firm will be able to further
develop relationships with students during firm exclusive networking sessions. With your
attendance at the Awards Gala, you will be able to relive the day with our delegates and present
the awards to our competition and challenge winners.
Your sponsorship is an easy and affordable way to receive quality exposure to an audience
of young, high potential conference attendees with aspirations for careers in financial
management. Sponsorship promotes your corporate brand while developing future financial
management leaders in accounting & finance. Not only will your organization be exposed to
our delegates, but you will also make a brand impression on a sizable proportion of business
students from across Canada through our extensive direct-to-student advertising campaign and
our social media platform.
We believe that CUC offers a program that positions corporate accounting and financial
management at the forefront of opportunities for aspiring CPA-bound professionals. At no
other conference of this magnitude is the unique opportunity to interact with 100 senior
undergraduate accounting and finance students available to Canadian businesses. This is why
we believe our partners will reap benefits they cannot receive anywhere else.
