This semester, Margarita Ivanova, a leading specialist in IFRS at Brusnika LLC, alumni of the bachelor’s programme "International Economics and Business", acted as a course instructor:

“I am very pleased to debut as a teacher in my programme. Among the brightest events, I want to note that the students managed to cope with the individual task of building a house, correctly apply in practice the knowledge of the relationship between the balance sheet, the financial statement and the statement of cash flows. This skill will be very useful at the beginning of a career path.”

The winners and prize-winners received certificates of participation indicating the prize place, as well as small gifts: 1st place - "Mi Vas Pobedim", 2nd place - "Vasil'ki", 3rd place - "Malev&ch". Also, the team “Professionals” received gifts for excellent materials and their presentation. The distinguished students of "International Economics and Business"  were offered BST Group to take an internship at the end of January or for a full-time job at the beginning of autumn, skipping one of the recruitment stages. The most distinguished ones took part in a business breakfast, where they learned a lot about the profession of an auditor and Business Solutions and Technologies company.

Anton Kochetkov, director of Business Solutions and Technologies office in Ekaterinburg, shares his impressions:

“The teams  demonstrated  strong skills in creating materials and presenting them. In general, one of our goals was to show everyone the practical side of our profession and how theory overlaps with practice, while the legend and task indicated clear goals and criteria for what needs to be done. Some of the teams perfectly understood the essence and applied the theory in practice, the result of their work exactly corresponded to the objectives of the tasks. To sum up, I think the event was great! I hope that the students also liked it, and they realized that an audit is not only activities with documents and excel”.
