ITAM students Luis Olguín Muedano and Karla Priscila Galván Sánchez won third and tenth places respectively at the ninth Carlos Pérez del Toro university essay contest sponsored by the Mexican Association of Public Accountants (CCPM).
Olguín Muedano won third place for his essay, “Secreto Fiscal y la Contabilidad Electrónica,” and Galván Sánchez won tenth place for her essay “Buzón tributario, factor positivo o negativo de influencia en el Régimen de Incorporación Fiscal.”
The awards were presented Feb. 12 in the association’s Fernando Diez Barroso hall, where students, professors and officers of various institutions gathered.
The competition arose through the association’s initiative and was promoted by the editorial board of Veritas magazine, which invited students in the undergraduate programs in public accounting to participate. The idea is to convey in an essay the impact of economic events upon the accounting profession.
ITAM students submitted seven of the 244 essays that were submitted from 18 higher education institutions. ITAM students have won a number of awards for their participation in the event during six years.
Present at the event were Jorge Alberto Téllez Guillén, CPA and president of the executive committee; Rosa María Cruz Lesbros, CPA and vicepresident of University Relations; C.P. Roberto Danel Díaz, public accountant and president of the Veritas editorial board, all of whom presided at the event; and Renata Mena Barraza, a public accountant who earned an undergraduate degree in the public accounting and financial strategy program and who won second place in the fifth contest.
Congratulations to the students and thanks to the professors in the Academic Department of Accounting who supported the students by evaluating the essays that were submitted.
