Date of the 11th edition: January 2025 (exact date to be specified)

Venue:VŠPJ Jihlava, Tolstého 16, Jihlava

No entry fee required. This event is free of charge for secondary schools.

The competition is organized as a team of three members who will participate in solving a professional test focused on accounting issues within the scope of the high school curriculum. A maximum of two teams representing one high school may apply for the competition. However, more teams may also apply for a given high school, which will be registered as alternates and will be included in the competition in case of free capacity. Alternate teams will be selected according to the order in which they applied. Participants will be informed of this in due course.

The competitors will be taking the test using the LMS Moodle of the VŠPJ. In connection with this, we request that each team provide and bring at least one laptop.

It is gratifying to see that each year a large number of the competitors are students of the VŠPJ, such as up to a third of the 2019 competitors. Similar results have been seen in subsequent years. Thus, the competition has become one of the motivational tools in applicants' decision to choose our university.
