Arif Masud Mirza, head of ACCA Pakistan
"On behalf of ACCA, the global body for professional accountants, I am delighted to welcome you to this year’s annual conference titled Education to Employment: bridging the gaps. Over the years ACCA Pakistan has set the legacy of bringing together finance professionals and leading employers on a single platform to discuss and elaborate on global challenges faced by business and in particular the accountancy profession. This year we want to expand the stage by including the other key stakeholders as well e.g. academia and education regulators to discuss the issues and gaps faced in the journey from education to employment. See you all there!"
Helen Brand, chief executive, ACCA
"ACCA has worked in partnership with employers and tuition providers for many years to ensure that we continue to provide a qualification which develops finance professionals with the complete range of skills and who meet the needs of the modern, globalised and more competitive business world. But there are still many challenges in our own and other sectors – ones which are critical for economies to meet and tackle in order to compete in the 21st century. We will use this event to look at issues and solutions, including the role of technology in learning and how to realise the potential of the new technologically savvy generations. Look forward to your attendance."
