WELCOME LETTER
August 2015
Greetings Beta Alpha Psi Meeting Attendees,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Beta Alpha Psi Annual Meeting in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home to the Milwaukee Brewers, Harley-Davidson, and the
best cheese in the world.
The 2015 Annual Meeting kicks off with two opportunities for our membership to
participate in community service efforts for the Milwaukee area:
• First, those participants selected for Project Run With It, sponsored by Moss
Adams LLP, will develop proposal presentations for local area not-for-profit
organizations in response to requests for assistance with special projects; and,
• Second, 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 among Beta Alpha Psi, KPMG LLP, KPMG
Foundation, First Book, and United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha
County. For the third year, we are hosting BAP International Day of Literacy.
We will hold Literacy Fairs at five local Boys and Girls Clubs, two United Way
Agencies and four elementary schools serving children from low-income
families in Milwaukee. 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 Fairs, every child will have a
book read to them and then will 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 developing
leadership skills; building relationships with peers and professionals; recognizing and
rewarding scholastic success; developing mental toughness; instilling a commitment
to lifelong professional development; ethical behavior; and service 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 help you develop your leadership skills;
• Expert panel discussions; and,
• Networking opportunities with professionals, exhibitors, faculty advisors, and
fellow students.

Speaker: Brian Sommer, President, Vital Analysis
Accounting in the (Rapidly Approaching) Digital Age
Accounting has undergone relatively smooth, constant change
in the 500-odd years since Luca Pacioli codified it. In contrast,
technology moves ever more rapidly and it often creates dramatic/
traumatic change – the kind of change that radically upends
existing businesses. As firms are becoming more digital, assets are
becoming more ephemeral, datasets bigger, and, more data coming
from outside the organization, the implications on accounting are
becoming clearer, bigger and more transformative. Listen in as
technology industry analyst Brian Sommer shares with us a view
into the changes about to impact and transform accounting. Hint:
change is NOT an option.
