Nowadays, web fun is coming from even seemingly unlikely places. Case in point: The Toronto-HQ’d Certified General Accountants of Ontario is hosting the high-stakes ‘One-Hour Accounting Contest’ online this Wednesday, March 19.
Open to registered students at Ontario colleges and universities, it will be a fast and furious 60 minutes during which contestants will vie for tuition credits, $5,000 for their schools and viral fame by answering tough questions created by a professional accountant. This is CGAO’s second annual online contest. The first one attracted more than 1,800 contestants, and scored substantial attention from news media across Canada.
