 The HKIAAT Accounting and Business Management Case Competition 2012-2013 is organized by Hong Kong Institute of Accredited Accounting Technicians Limited (HKIAAT) and co-organized by the Education Bureau. The Competition aims to develop the ability of senior secondary school students, especially those studying Business, Accounting and Financial Studies, in using accounting information for business development and to improve their soft skills as required by today's business world. Since its inauguration in 2002, more than 300 secondary schools and 20 tertiary institutions have participated in the Competition, making it one of the most popular and significant annual inter-school events of its kind.

3. Real world experience
Participating teams can learn how to analyze a real-life business situation and apply what they have learned in the classroom to identify possible strategies for a corporation's future planning.
