The SMU-IIAS Case Challenge 2018, organised by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Singapore and SMU Accounting Society, was held on 4 August 2018. The topic of this year's Case Challenge was "Fraud in the Digital Era" and its aim was to enhance the participants' knowledge on internal audit and risk management, specifically in the area of fraud. We hope the participants can gain useful skillsets from this competition, and even consider a career in these areas. The event garnered a total of 25 teams with 100 participants from both the Pre-University and University categories.
Teams were given one and a half hours to prepare for the case study, after which they presented their analysis and solutions to the judges. The top three teams for each category won cash prizes, while the winning team for the University category, JBED Consulting won a cash prize and gained internship opportunities with BDO and RSM.
AD Auditors, the winning team for the Pre-University category commented, "SMU-IIAS Case Challenge has been an insightful and thought-provoking tournament. It was a ‘risk’ worth taking which has allowed us to interact with like-minded peers and even internal audit professionals. This has inspired us to consider internal audit as a career. Giving a score of 10/10, we would recommend such a competition to our juniors!"
The winning team for the University category said, “Leveraging on the expertise of three SMU Law Freshmen and one NTU Nanyang Business School Final Year student, our team is humbled that JBED Consulting managed to emerge as the winning team for the SMU-IIAS Case Challenge this year where we secured an internship with The Institute of Internal Auditors Singapore, as well as a $1,000 cash prize.
We would like to thank SMU for the opportunity to participate in this competition. Our knowledge in fraud and risk management has increased tremendously with the hands-on, practical approach of this Challenge. We encourage future participants to adopt an open mind and to challenge themselves to step out of their comfort zones.”
Congratulations also, to all participants for their insightful analysis and creative solutions. All in all, this event was a successful one with positive feedback from our participants.
