ASUE Students Winners of Inter-university Financial Challenge
Yesterday, IAB International Academy of Business organized annual financial challenge in Armenian General Benevolent Union in cooperation with KPMG, enabling students to demonstrate professional skills and knowledge in audit and finance spheres.
The 4th year students of a number of Armenian Universities – Yerevan State University, American University of Armenia, Armenian-Russian University, French University in Armenia, Armenian National Agrarian University (Agribusiness Teaching Center) attended the challenge. ASUE participated with two teams: Accounting and Auditing and Finance Faculties, coordinated by Levon Sahakyan, Associate Professor of the Chair of Financial Accounting, Ph.D in Economics, and Asya Khalatyan, Assistant Professor of the Chair of Finance.
KPMG gave a package of financial documents to all participant teams, and students should find the mistakes in it.
There was another assignment among the tasks: each team should create a logo of its future organization, formulate the vision and key values to be presented to the jury. While the jury would assess the work done, the presentation on "How to Have a Good Interview" was introduced.
As a result of jury's decision, ASUE two teams shared the first place with equal points. KPMG enables the winners to participate in their summer camp, and IAB Business Academy will award winners with certificates.
