CFA Society Toronto 2023-2024 Ethics Challenge

We are looking for 3-5 students to partake in the CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge!

The CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge is designed to increase student’s awareness of the ethical dilemmas and issues they may face as professionals. Teams consisting of students from finance or business programs are given an ethics case to analyze and evaluate. Each team then presents its analysis and recommendations, to a panel of judges, selected by the host CFA Society. Following a question-and-answer period after each team’s presentation, the judges then select a winner.

To determine the winning team, the judges use a grading rubric that is based on the quality of the team’s understanding of the ethical issues involved, their recommendations, and the quality of their analysis, presentation, and responses to the judges’ questions. For more information, please visit our website.

Last year our McMaster team did quite well and it was an excellent learning opportunity.

Timeline:

Team formation and work begins October – November of the academic year. Mid-to-late November till mid-January is when the majority of work will commence. Regional rounds will then take place between late January through February. More information can be found here.
