The Malta Institute of Management and KPMG have launched the second sponsorship scheme in relation to the international qualification of the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation accredited by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (UK).
ADIT aims to meet the needs of professionals wishing to further their studies and expertise in international taxation and is the leading qualification in tax matters. In Malta this is the sixth consecutive year that the ADIT is being run. This has mainly been the result of a high demand for ADIT qualified international taxation professionals by the local financial services industry especially since Malta is becoming an increasingly important international hub for international taxation management.
The ADIT programme also has a Malta variant, thereby providing valuable insights in both international and local taxation. The collaboration agreement between MIM and KPMG aims at strengthening the quality of the delivery of the course programme by offering the participants tuition and access to amongst the best local and international experts on the subject.
ADIT includes three papers and participation in a conference addressing local and international taxation topics. The programme will be held in the evening and can be studied on a modular basis. Business, accounting and law university students, accountants, lawyers, graduates and practitioners in finance and business administration are amongst those eligible for applying for the ADIT programme.
The MIM and KMPG student sponsorship scheme aims to support students for free participation in the ADIT. The programme is also eligible for partial EU funding thus making the ADIT qualification even more accessible. All students participating in the sponsorship scheme will, if not successful on the sponsorship scheme, be given a substantial discount on the tuition fees.
Students interested in taking part in the student sponsorship scheme, will be requested to write a 5,000 word essay on a tax subject of their choice. The student who submits the best essay will be offered free attendance on the 2011 intake of the ADIT Paper 1 and Paper 2 (CIOT fees not included) and the opportunity of a job interview with KPMG. All essays will become exclusive property of MIM who will be authorised to publish.
Non-successful students will receive a discounted offer on the programme. The essay must be related to the field of taxation.
Prospective applicants may suggest a preferred topic which will need to be approved by MIM and KPMG. For further information please contact Nicholas Bianco at The Malta Institute of Management on 2145 3097 or email [email protected]
