The inaugural SMU Accounting Challenge 2013 was sponsored by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants. Organised by the School of Accountancy Volunteer Corps, the competition aimed to sharpen the students' grasp of financial accounting knowledge in an engaging way, through a competition comprising a series of multiple-choice questions. The Challenge was based on a smartphone/tablet application developed by two SMU accountancy faculty staff. Launched on 15 March 2013, the app, called SMU Accounting Challenge was created by Associate Professor Seow Poh Sun and Senior Lecturer Wong Suay Peng. The app has since gone on to win the 2013 CEEMAN Champion Award in Teaching and has been downloaded 3,595 times. Of these downloads, 67 per cent originated from overseas, including countries such as Australia, the Philippines, UK and US.
