The global financial crisis has underscored the need for increased transparency and accountability in business, resulting in a strong demand for reliable valuation expertise. As an independent financial advisory and investment banking firm whose services are deeply rooted in valuation expertise, Duff & Phelps is committed to preparing the next generation of financial professionals to meet tomorrow's valuation challenges. We are working with young people, educators and the business community to give this technical subject matter the attention it is due - with the long term goal of sustainably delivering reports and data that will withstand the scrutiny of business leaders, investors, consumers and regulators for decades to come.
Our commitment to education is a core part of who we are. Some of the exciting initiatives we are undertaking in the field of education include:
The Duff & Phelps Chair in Business Analysis & Valuation at Rotterdam School of Management (RSM), Erasmus University
Duff & Phelps YOUniversity Deal Challenge challenges students from schools across the United States to win scholarships by solving a complex business problem that involves mergers and acquisitions advisory, transaction opinions, dispute consulting and valuation.
We also provide support to organizations that provide assistance and educational resources to disadvantaged communities:
Graph It Forward Today (GIFT) gives educational tools to students of limited means.
Help us help GIFT. Now through October 31, Duff & Phelps will donate scientific calculators for every new follower on LinkedIn and like on Facebook.
