It does not stop there; in the Audit Case Challenge category, FLY showed its best performance and came out in first place, Teambirco took second place with a brilliant performance, and Side Job got third place with satisfactory results.

The students' success above must be connected to the full support of the Career and Student Development Unit (CSDU) FEB UGM.

Through the mentoring and training provided, FEB UGM students receive essential academic and non-academic training to compete in competitions.

The extraordinary achievements of FEB UGM students at The 23rd ATV are evidence of their dedication and hard work in honing their audit skills. Full support from the Faculty has proven to be the primary key to leading students to success. This achievement can inspire other FEB UGM students to continue working and make the alma mater proud nationally and internationally.
