The inaugural Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Accounting Case Competition was successfully held at the School of Management, Jinan University, from May 18 to 19, 2024. The competition aims to foster and enhance students' abilities to identify, analyze, and solve real-world business problems by organizing accounting students from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao universities to experience enterprise practice, simulate management decisions, and compete with their solutions. This event not only provides a platform for students to showcase their skills but also serves as a significant catalyst for student interaction and personal growth. The competition is hosted by Jinan University under the guidance of the National Steering Committee for Professional Master's Degree Education in Accounting, and organized by the Guangdong Provincial Steering Committee for Teaching and Learning in Business Administration. It is co-initiated by 15 renowned universities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region, including Sun Yat-sen University, Jinan University, South China University of Technology, South China Normal University, South China Agricultural University, Shenzhen University, Guangzhou University, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangdong Finance Institute, Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Macau University of Science and Technology.
The competition attracted nearly a hundred undergraduate and master's teams from more than twenty universities in the Greater Bay Area. The "Must Do It" team of Accounting Master's students from Macau University of Science and Technology excelled in the preliminary round. The team members, Yue Fu, Ning He, Yujun Zou, Yiyuan Zhao, Ziyin Li, and Jinchen Li, are all master's students in accounting (guided and led by Assistant Professor Ruopiao Zhang and Associate Professor Chan Lyu).
