Khalid Zaki Khan, president and accountant of the students’ club, will sign the agreement between the two organizations aimed at developing young businessmen and providing training to the UTB students for developing business.
UTB’s Media Officer Seif Al-Soulame told Arab News that Deloitte & Touche was among the top four accounting and financial services firms in the world. The agreement between the two will facilitate lectures and training workshops on topics related to accounting, auditing, zakat and income tax, for the club members, besides scientific seminars and professional introduction by Deloitte for the students.
The company will also provide material support for the activities of the club, and training of students in the company. It will give away awards and certificates to the students, which will be a motivation, besides offering employment to them after graduation from the university.
