December 20, 2024

What challenges and processes need to be considered when taking over a company? At the end of November, representatives from Grant Thornton Austria gave students on the Bachelor’s program in Finance, Accounting & Taxation practical insights into these exciting questions. 

The auditors Michael Szücs and Helfried Schodl gave the students a practical presentation of the requirements for auditors as part of a case study. In the case study, the procedure for the takeover of a bank on the Vienna Stock Exchange was played out. The presentation centered on takeover law and the duties of auditors during takeovers 

The final point was a comprehensive discussion of the topic presented, and the task set for the students with the aim of determining an appropriate offer price, including a description and argumentation of the procedure from a strategic point of view.
