As a non-profit organization, our mandate is to strengthen the future of the accounting profession in Alberta through partnerships by supporting business education and students, and the incubation of innovative ideas.
Each year, the Foundation provides up to $1.2 million in support of that mandate.
We do this by bestowing: grants to post-secondary business schools; scholarships and awards to students; financial support for accounting research; and programs to recognize and honour Alberta’s best accounting educators.
