Beta Alpha Psi recognizes that many chapters go beyond expectations—aiming not just for excellence, but for long-term impact. To honor this, KPMG sponsors the Platinum Challenge (formerly known as the Gold Challenge).
The competition calls for a 5-minute video that demonstrates why your chapter stands out, based on the guidelines outlined below. It’s not just about the video—it’s about the story your chapter tells. Show us the work that makes your chapter truly extraordinary.
How are you using innovation and the business skills chapter members are developing through coursework and extracurriculars, to impact your community in a way that is scalable to other chapters?

$3,000, per chapter, up to 10 chapters (which represents the top 5% of all BAP Chapters)
Chapters must meet the following criteria:
Chapters wishing to participate in the KPMG Platinum Challenge should review the KPMG Platinum Challenge guidelines. These guidelines will provide you with everything you need to know about the contest, how to apply, and how to submit your video. A KPMG Platinum Challenge nomination form (only submit one nomination form) and individual release form (one for each person that participated in the video) must be completed and submitted with video entry.
AFWA has long supported Beta Alpha Psi because both organizations share a commitment to fostering professional growth and leadership in accounting and finance. BAP, like AFWA, emphasizes academic excellence, ethical conduct, and practical experience, equipping its members with the skills needed for successful careers.
