Rachel (CFM), Shilp (AFM), Mischa (AFM), and Tony (AFM) recently won the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) Case Competition. 

Read their blog to learn more about their experience during the competition and their innovative solution for BP's transfer to more sustainable and renewable energy model. 

Students from our Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) program recently won the final round of the Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) International Case Competition.

Learn about their experience and prize-winning solution that led them to surpass teams from Germany, Norway, the United States, and Canada, to securing the top spot and a coveted prize of $10,000.

From challenge to experience:

Each year, the Global Case Competition at Harvard University attracts over 3,000 finance and business students from 100 universities across the world to present their financial valuation and strategy-backed recommendations to a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) case. 

The Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) is a highly competitive event in which teams from universities across the world compete against each other in a simulated venture capital investment process. Our team from the University of Waterloo (myself, Matthew, Alyzeh, Aryaman, Vireshaar and Daniel) were thrilled to have made it to the global finals after winning the Canadian regional competition held in Halifax.

It was an honour to represent the School of Accounting and Finance and win first place in the STRIVE Conference's national case competition at the senior tier level among several other teams across the country.

The Young Tax Professionals (YTP) program offers students with an interest in a career in taxation the opportunity to closely interact with faculty, alumni, and other full-time tax professionals.
