Table notes
Footnotes:* KPMG reported on the results of obtaining evidence and applying specified audit
procedures relating to selected survey data provided for the Financial Times 2019 MBA ranking for
selected business schools.

Enquiries about the assurance process can be made by contacting Lori Huber of KPMG a
t lahuber@kpmg.ca. The specified audit procedures were carried out between November and Decembe
r 2018. The audit date published denotes the survey for which the specified audit precedures wer
e conducted. **These schools run additional courses for MBA students for which additional languag
e skills are required.



Although the headline ranking figures show changes in the data year to year, the pattern of cluster
ing among the schools is equally significant. Some 200 points separate the top programme, Stanford, f
rom the school ranked number 100. The top 14 participants, down to Northwestern University: Kellogg, f
orm the top group of MBA providers. The second group, headed by Dartmouth College: Tuck, spans scho
ols ranked 15 to 38. Differences between schools are relatively small within this group. The 51 scho
ols within the third group headed by Imperial College Business School, rank joint 39th, are similarly cl
ose together. The remaining 11 schools headed by George Washington University make up the fou
rth group.
