THE University of San Carlos has joined forces with Deloitte Philippines to provide various opportunities for Accountancy students in the upcoming academic year.

A memorandum of understanding was signed by officials of the USC and Delloite PH earlier this month.

The collaboration includes internships, scholarships, lecture series, and integrated courses on international tax.

USC said the partnership comes after the success of the team of third-year BS Accountancy students.

To recall, team “Happy and Deloitted” composed of Nefalin Demafiles, Danielle Mae Louise Go, Christian lan Omandam, and Lawrence Sarigumba won the championship in the Southeast Asia Deloitte Tax Challenge in Jakarta, Indonesia last March.

Representing Deloitte Philippines at the signing ceremony were Atty. Fredieric Landicho, Atty. Carlo Navarro, Errol Pielago, Jonathan Quiroga, Christopher John Fuentes, and Kirk Saromines.

USC was represented by Fr. Francisco Antonio T. Estepa, SVD, Ph.D., Brenette Abrenica, Dr. Melanie Banzuela, Dr. Lauro Cipriano Silapan Jr., Dr. Challoner Matero, and Joemel Dakay, along with officers from the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants.
