ACCA Pakistan is organising Talent Gymnasium 2011, an exciting event that is a unique platform for dual objectives of honing professional skills of finance and accounting trainees and bringing together ACCA's key employers and talented trainees.
The event will be held on January 21, January 24 and January 27 in Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi respectively. With businesses going global the employers require employees with a diverse skill set that matches an international standard. Particularly, in the accounting and finance function, instead of mere number crunchers, employers look for individuals with an overall understanding of the business, analytical capabilities and awareness about all dimensions of business risks.
The gymnasium also features a rich discussion forum on 'Talent Management for Generation Y' moderated by Fasi Zaka and led by experts from private and public sector including ICI, Lakson Tobacco Company Limited, Coca Cola Beverages Pakistan Limited, KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co Chartered Accountants, Packages Limited, Ernst & Young Ford Rhodes Sidat Hyder & Co Chartered Accountants, Telenor Pakistan Pvt Limited, Askari Commercial Bank Limited and Auditor General of Pakistan. The promising contribution of industry experts to the event has rendered it as a must attend event for country's corporate and public sector alike.-PR
