For the eighth year running, Accuracy is organising the Accuracy Business Cup (ABC), an international business case competition involving students from top universities across the globe, including France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Canada, India and Morocco. The UK finals of the ABC will take place in early February 2023, with an international final competition in March 2023.
The competition is aimed at challenge-seeking, eager-to-learn students, ideally in their penultimate or final year of studies, and provides an opportunity to gain exposure to a real-life international finance and strategy project. Participating students will have the opportunity to present their cases to the senior management of an international listed company and to be coached by senior Accuracy consultants. Historically, partner companies have included LVMH, L’Oreal, Michelin and Pernod Ricard. In addition, the ABC is a great opportunity for students to stand out from their peers and to get an offer for an internship or full-time position!
To apply to the Accuracy Business Cup, students will be required to enter a team of three and submit their application on https://abc.accuracy.com/apply/ before 31 January 2023.
