The local competition
This is the opportunity to take your career further, faster.
Do you want to see the business world in global terms? Do you want to learn to work with people from around the world and learn how business is done in different cultures? All of this while learning new skills that are expected of tomorrow’s leaders?
This is what the competition is all about.
The first phase of the competition takes place in your local country where you study.
During the first round we will challenge your technical abilities and wider commercial strengths — do well here against some of the best minds in your country and you will become a country finalist. As a country finalist you will represent your country at the YTPY international final.
The International Final
YTPY 2013 is taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark (during the 67th International Fiscal Association Congress) 26 – 29 August 2013. During the four-day international final, the successful country finalists will work closely with people from other cultures and backgrounds..
Participants will be challenged with case studies and interviews before expert judges. That judges panel will then confirm the three winners of the Young Tax Professional of the Year Award.
The finalists will be invited to a prestigious awards ceremony where — after a final review of performance throughout the competition — the winners will be announced.
