Awards for our research assistants Anna-Sophie Braun and Christoph Rehrl

The WFI and the IN-Kontakt alumni association presented their graduates with their Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral certificates at the Ingolstadt City Theatre. Dr. Dorothea Deneke-Stoll, the second mayor of the city of Ingolstadt, presented several graduates with prizes in recognition of their outstanding achievements. We are delighted to announce that the prize for the best Master's thesis in 2024 has been awarded to our research assistant, Christoph Rehrl. Mr. Rehrl's thesis, entitled 'Firm-wide Effects of Earnings Stripping Rules', provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of the reform of the 'Earnings Stripping Rules' from the ATAD guidelines on the firm-wide foreign debt ratios of large multinational companies within the EU.

We are pleased to announce that our research assistant, Anna-Sophie Braun, has been honoured with the 'Teaching Prize', an annual award for excellent teaching at the WFI, during the graduation ceremony. The elected student representatives at the WFI select a professor and a doctoral or postdoctoral student to receive this prize each year. The recipients are chosen based on student evaluations of the teaching of all courses taught at the WFI over the past two semesters. The award cites three courses taught by Mrs. Braun: Balancing and Business Taxation (Bachelor's level), Taxation of Business (Master's level) and Tax Accounting Law (Master's level). We would like to extend our congratulations to Prof. Dr. David Streich for being awarded the same prize for professors.
