The Business Valuation Challenge, now in its sixth year, is underway. Created by Professor Herbert Kierulff of Seattle Pacific University, this year’s Challenge is being hosted by Georgia State University (GSU). This is a unique opportunity and learning experience for the students— a “real world” competition during which teams of students value a private company and present their results. The AICPA is a sponsor of the event and so is Business Valuation Resources, which provides complimentary data, resources, and other materials for the Challenge, and GSU is working with the AICPA to coordinate industry mentors for each of the teams. This year, there are 14 teams from 18 schools, including a team from Bangalore—the first time the BV Challenge has had a team from outside of the U.S. The competition will take place November 17 with a welcome dinner to be held November 16 at the Buckhead Club in Atlanta.
