Qatar University, Qatar Financial Center sign MoU with four major accounting firms for tax training sessions

Qatar University College of Business and Economics (QU-CBE) and Qatar Financial Center (QFC) Authority recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the “Big Four” accounting firms – Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

The MoU provides a method to collaborate on the development and delivery of a tax awareness training program for students.
 
“The agreement will serve as a platform to exchange knowledge and best practices that will be of invaluable benefit to our students,” CBE Dean Khalid Al-Abdulqader said. “It also shows QU’s commitment to shape the future generation of experts and professionals by offering them high-quality academic programs and by equipping them with the skills, competencies and mindset needed for a successful career in line with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.”
 
The training sessions will take place at QU during both the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic years and will highlight international tax principles and Qatari tax law.
 
“Strengthening and enlarging the talent pool available to the commercial and financial sector in Qatar through education is imperative for QFC, and it is with a great sense of joy and pride that I announce the signing of the MoU as the beginning of a closer and stronger relationship with QU and the Big Four,” QFC Authority CFO Hamed Al-Saadi said.
