Calling all Commerce Students
Apply for KPMG’s CASE WRITING COMPETITION!
Ace the Case is a unique 2-day workshop designed and delivered by KPMG that gives you an opportunity to improve your case-writing and analysis capabilities as well as your presentation skills. Both are great assets that can be applied to achieve success in your academic and professional experiences ahead and help you with case study competitions. This is your chance to learn from the best and for KPMG to share with you some of our valuable skills and resources.
The workshop is targeted primarily towards second and third year commerce students with a long-term interest in pursuing a CA or Consulting designation. In addition to building your case-writing skills, Ace the Case will allow you to:

various disciplines and universities as well as KPMG professionals
- Get a "taste" of what to expect in the near future, if becoming a CA or Consultant is the route for you
- Learn valuable skills to use in your future as a student and business professional.
