During the financial management course, a field trip took students to Deloitte's headquarters. The concept was examined more closely and then the students were asked to demonstrate their innovative ability themselves. A digital product was developed as part of the Deloitte Innovation Challenge for the areas of tax, consulting and audit, and strategic recommendations for action were drawn up.
