Members of Big Foot High School’s College Accounting - Honors course traveled to Lakeland University on Monday, March 11, 2024 to participate in their Forensic Accounting competition. In this competition, the students were given a case study where fraud was perpetrated within the fake business. The students needed to analyze the data, determine which vendors were fraudulent vendors, determine how much was stolen, and explain how the business’ internal controls allowed for the employee to embezzle the money. There were 29 teams from 23 schools.
The Big Foot1 team consisting of Patrick Corey, Noah Langelund, Kaden Rambatt, and Andrew Ruhl took 2nd place in their pool of 7 teams behind eventual champion Brookfield East.
The Big Foot2 team consisting of Finn Burdick, Clayton Flies, Logan McHugh, and Clemente Olague won their pool of 8 teams and presented again in finals. In the end, this team took 3rd place overall at the competition.
Students from Big Foot High School won this competition in 2020 and have participated in finals several other years.

In the Foods 2 study of beef, the students formed teams and have been researching award-winning chili recipes and are preparing their versions of beef Chili, so why not make it a competition. But before the judges try each group’s chili, two members of each team must eat a spoonful in front of the judges. That’s only fair!
Judges had to be able to handle spices and we didn’t limit the level of heat teams put into their chilis.
Teams also prepared side dishes and toppings.
Tomorrow! Can’t make it? We’ll be live streaming the performance on our BFHS Music Facebook page!
