The outstanding team from The University of Hong Kong's (HKU) Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) has won the Co-Championship of this year's Qualification Programme (QP) Case Analysis Competition that was held on November 27.   This is the 5th consecutive year that FBE students have won the championship in this annual competition organised by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accounts (HKICPA).  Champion team member Fan Xin Yu, Speed has also claimed the Best Presenter Award in the competition.

Now in its ninth year, the QP Case Analysis Competition aims at developing students' business skills and professional judgment in a business environment with the use of real-life case studies. This year, the competition brought together176 teams from nine local universities to compete in two rounds.  Eight finalist teams were shortlisted to enter the final competition on November 27, and to present their business plan in English, based on their written reports in front of an adjudication panel consisted of prominent business leaders. 

Professor Eric Chang, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics remarked, "I am proud of our students' outstanding performance. They had certainly performed an excellent job in presenting the case with strong analytical competencies, problem solving abilities, team building and presentation skills.  I would also like to thank the Faculty's teachers and coaching staff for their dedication in support of our students' development across all fronts."

In addition to the co-championship team, two other FBE student teams also won the second runner-up and a merit award in this year's competition.  Champion team members are awarded with both cash prize and internship opportunities.
