Accounting Scientific Week (PIA) is a national level accounting competition organized by the Accounting Student Association (HMA) Faculty of Economics and Business, Lambung Mangkurat University. This competition brings together accounting students
throughout Indonesia to build friendships and increase relationships with all accounting students in Indonesia. The Accounting Scientific Week, hereinafter abbreviated to PIA, was realized for the first time in 1997. PIA has various series of events including the Accounting Competition (AC) and National Seminar. This year PIA is present with the theme ʺRe-inventing the Roles of Accountants Amidst Global & SDG`s 2030 Challengeʺ. SDG's 2030 is a newly created sustainable development agenda to answer demands for world leadership in overcoming poverty, inequality and climate change in the form of real action contained in 17 sustainable development goals. Through PIA 2020 activities, students can see various new opportunities to support and optimize the role of the accounting profession in the changes occurring towards SDG's 2030.
In 2020, for the first time, PIA was held online. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic and as a form of support for the government to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by implementing social distancing and working from home. After the selection process, the 15 best teams from all over Indonesia were selected. Universitas Airlangga was represented by two teams. The concept of this competition is very interesting and includes several games in each round. It is hoped that this Online Competition activity can be a new experience for students as well as teach students to remain adaptive in responding to various changes in natural conditions.
