AGAGovernment Finance Case Challenge 2007-2008  

Welcome

 

The best undergraduate accounting/financial management/business students in the country are invited to compete in the second annual Government Finance Case Challenge, sponsored by the Association of Government Accountants (AGA).
 

Student teams will collaboratively analyze and offer a written response to a case centered on how a U.S. city government implements a performance management system. The registration deadline is Friday, Oct. 3, 2008. All members of the two highest-scoring teams will receive a scholarship to attend AGA's National Leadership Conference, set for Feb. 19-20, 2009, in Washington, D.C.
 

Teams will present their finalized solutions before a panel of federal/state/local government leaders, corporate partners and CFOs on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2009. The winning team will be announced at the awards luncheon on Feb. 20, 2009.
 

Cash prizes will be awarded to the winning team. Each student participant will receive a free one-year membership to AGA.
 

Students will compete with teams from various colleges around the country. The experience promises to challenge students' moral reasoning, raise their awareness of the importance of government accountability and open doors to a future career in government.


Note: This competition is only open to currently enrolled college undergraduate students.
