The ACG Cup® is a case study competition designed to give students from leading Northwest MBA programs real world experience and invaluable insights into accounting, M&A, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. This is a competition where MBA students solve real-world situations in a high-pressure setting. The students are challenged to find solutions for a finance-related case in the field of mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. After the teams analyze the case and agree upon a course of action, the students make presentations to a panel of judges comprised of successful corporate executives in the field of finance.
