Karachi: Sixteen Pakistani students have been selected to compete in the national level final of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants' (CIMA's) 'Global Business Challenge', to be held at a local hotel in Karachi on May 15. Four winning students will participate in the international level final, to be held in Malaysia on August 05 and 06.

This was said by International Customer Marketing Manager of the CIMA, Salema Hafiz, while addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Wednesday.

She said that 220 students from 47 universities participated in the qualifying round, out of which sixteen have been selected for the national level final.

She further said that the four winning students would go on to compete in Malaysia against students from the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, UAE and Australia.

Hafiz said that this was the first time the CIMA's 'Global Business Challenge' was being held in Pakistan, allowing local students to compete in an international competition and discover their potentials in business leadership.

She said that the competing students would be required to analyse and present a case study to local business leaders and a panel of experts. The winners would go on to compete in the Malaysian global final which would also require them to give presentations to a panel of high profile judges.

She said such international competitions provide students with a great opportunity to test the depth of their relevant knowledge, as well as try out their business management skills.

CIMA Pakistan Branch Representative Javaria Hassan said that since the formal launch of CIMA office in Pakistan in 2009, the institute has received an overwhelming response from business and finance students. She added that one Pakistani student, Hassan Siddiq, had even gained the highest score in Paper P7 (Financial Accounting and Tax Principles), come joint third in Paper P1 (Management Accounting Performance Evaluation) and achieved joint seventh in Paper P2 (Management Accounting Decision Management) out of 31,000 students who sat in the latest round of CIMA exams in 87 countries.
