It is extremely beneficial for accounting students to gain experience with tax preparation while contributing to the community at the same time. Sue Maligie, a Chico State professor CPA, was the coordinator of the program. She helped encourage participation as well as public interest. The Beta Alpha Psi Director of VITA, Daniel McGrath, also devoted many hours to VITA. Because of his efforts, VITA was an incredible success. A total of 973 returns were filed between all service centers in Butte County. This amounted to savings of nearly $300,000 for clients. Beta Alpha Psi and the Accounting Society plan to continue their involvement with VITA and increase the amount of volunteers through on-campus preparation for the mandatory training and online tests.
