2021 Brawijaya Accounting Fair (BAF) Olympiad

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

The first round of the Brawijaya Accounting Fair (BAF) Olympiad was the "Preliminary: Troposphere" round, which took place on September 26, 2021. This round was held online and participated by 34 teams, each with three members. The Best Team was the sole representative from the Accounting Undergraduate Program Universitas Airlangga Surabaya. The questions and answer sheets were accessible by the team leader at 8:50 a.m. WIB via Google Classroom and then shared with other team members. The questions were in PDF format and the answer sheets were in Google Sheets, allowing the committee to monitor the participants' work through the Google Sheet. There were three types of questions: multiple-choice (50 questions), short answer (20 questions), and crossword (10 questions). The questions were presented in both English and Indonesian. The allotted time to complete the questions was 90 minutes, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. WIB. The announcement of participants who passed to the next stage will be held on September 29, 2021 via Instagram @baffebub and the participant WhatsApp group.

The next round after qualifying from the "Preliminary: Troposphere" round was the "Quarter Final: Stratosphere" which took place on October 9, 2021. This round was attended by the 20 teams that obtained the highest points in the previous round, with the Best Team being ranked 18th out of 34 teams. The mechanism for providing questions and answer sheets remained the same as the previous round, but in this round, participants' work was supervised by the committee via Zoom and Google Meet. In addition to being a monitoring medium, Zoom was also used as a place for team discussions. Google Meet was used to record the PC/Laptop screen used by the participants, so it was placed on the side of the participants so that the conditions of the participants' work area and the activity on the participants' PC/Laptop screen could be seen. The questions consisted of 30 multiple-choice questions and 20 true-or-false questions in English and Indonesian. Participants were given 60 minutes to work from 1:45 PM to 2:45 PM WIB. However, in this round, the Best Team did not advance to the next round, namely the 10 teams with the highest points, while the Best Team was ranked 14th out of the 20 teams competing in this round.
