Five Westminster College students have advanced to the final stage of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) business competition, which will be held Feb. 16 at PICPA headquarters in Philadelphia.

In November, the members of the Westminster College team submitted a business plan for starting a new small business from scratch.  It was this plan for Steel City Messenger Service that earned them a chance to move on to the second phase of competition, which was awarded to only five Pennsylvania teams.

According to the rules of the competition, each team will have four hours to solve and present a second, related business plan problem.  Winning teams will be announced that day, with various monetary awards going to each participant.
