Grant Thornton was founded in 1924 and provides audit, tax, and advisory services. This ACG Cup case study competition was designed to give finance graduate students experience\u00a0and insight into mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. Teams were given two weeks of access to online webinars\/document resources and one week preparation time for their case. The same case was distributed to all participating teams just one week before the competition so that all teams were competing on a fair basis. Participating students had the opportunities to present valuation, capital markets and strategic advice on the same project to a panel of professionals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ACG 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year, seven schools participated in ACG case competitions, including: Texas Christian University, Texas Southern University, University of Dallas, University of Houston, University of Texas Dallas, University of Texas at San Antonio and University of St. Thomas.
