New School Year

KPMG's Ace The Case

Ace the Case is a 3-day case writing workshop presented by KPMG from June 11th – 13th, 2009, and targeted towards second and third year Business/Commerce students who are interested in pursuing a career in accounting and are keen on developing sharp case analysis and presentation skills, which are of paramount importance in our client service business.

KPMG’s UFE process has celebrated continual success over the years because of the remarkable tool kit that we provide to our writers. By attending the Ace the Case workshop, you will have the opportunity to have a sneak peek at this renowned process and meet one of the leading professionals, whom we consider to be critical to the success of our many writers: Bruce Densmore of Densmore Consulting Services Inc. Under his guidance, you will learn how to plan, write, and debrief a case—all skills that you will use to help you succeed at school, in competitions, and later in your professional career.    

If you want to learn more about these skills and techniques, as well as learn about KPMG’s culture, people, and programs, this workshop is for you!
