They were Bachelor of Business Administration students Kennedy Jin Xiyang (Accounting and Finance), Khoo Chen Kang (Financial Services), Grace Lin Guanxiu (Accounting and Finance) and Master of Science in Accounting and Finance Analytics student Dora Liu Tianmeiduo.

 

The team researched a subject company and wrote a report from the perspective of independent analysts to get one of the highest scores before entering the local final competition where they delivered a presentation to a panel of judges.
