With a focus on data analytics in accounting, EY's winter project involves implementing the DuPont Method, a key framework to analyzing financial statements and understanding company performance. Members will define an analytics mindset, learn the ratios involved in the DuPont Method, and use this method to perform data analytics and data visualization techniques.

With a focus on the audit practice, Deloitte's winter project involves a thorough analysis of three different entities.
