ACCA Hong Kong Business Competition 2020-21 (Merit Award and Digital Excellence Award)
Two teams of HKU Business School students won four awards at the ACCA Hong Kong Business Competition 2020-21, including 2nd Runner Up, Digital Excellence Award, Research Excellence Award and Merit Award on January 23, 2021.
ACCA launched the ACCA Hong Kong Business Competition annually since 2007 to nurture students with a blend of accounting and business knowledge alongside values of social responsibility. Students benefit from a broad range of skills training workshops and coaching from the ACCA fellow members, to enhance their analytical, proposal writing and presentation skills. Themed “Rewiring our future: leading digital innovation and sustainable success”, this year's competition required students to design a campaign, project or product for the selected industry, and to share their vision and ideas on a business model in a world of uncertainties, creating sustainable value with public interests at heart.
