October is just around the corner and The CharterQuest Institute is excited to remind everyone that it's about that time of the year which signals the 2nd edition of the battle of the minds, The CFO (Global) Case Study Competition finals to run concurrently with the maiden edition of The CFO Junior (National) Competition finals.

The CFO Case Study Competition has scheduled a TV Series that will run every Tuesday from the 12th of September to the 24th October, 2017 on The Mindset Network (DSTV Channel 319, OVHD Channel 134 and Starsat Channel 309). The TV Series reviews the prior edition and gives viewers a sneak-peek of what to expect this October. It will take viewers along a journey to experience the competition and all its buzz from the time the teams land at the airport right through to the finals where the winners are crowned. If you a Top 6, this will help you prepare for the final presentation (especially the nature and complexity of the impromptu questions to expect from Judges). 

We urge all teams who did not make it this far in the competition and all aspirants who wish to enter the 2018 edition -which opens on the 1st of November 2017, to follow the TV Series. 

The top 6 teams of the 2017 competition and its maiden-junior version have undergone rigorous exercises to get to this stage and have compiled videos telling the world why they entered and what they hope to achieve.
