About the competition “Young auditor:

The idea for the contest “Young auditor” was born because of the existing somewhat confusion among young people about the role of the auditor as well as to affirm the need for an external, independent and as objective assessment of the financial position of companies.

In last year’s competition involved more than 99 students from 10 universities in the country. Most participants have registered from the University of National and World Economy (UNSS) in Sofia (32), followed by the Academy “D. Tzenov “- Svishtov (19) and University  of Finance, Business and Entrepreneurship (VUZF) – Sofia (18). The second stage – a test admitted 81 participants, 33 men (41%) and 48 women (59%). Third stage – case solving, reached those who passed the test with more than 60% correct answers. The subject of the case that reflect all participants in the contest is “Audit procedures for verification of property, machinery, instalations and equipment.”

The first prize was awarded to Georgi Stoyanov (UNSS), Second prize – Martin Stoev, (VUZF). Third place was given to Anita Emilova (VUZF) that received the opportunity for internship of a period of 1 month in “HLB Bulgaria” and after was proposed to continue working in the company on the position she still occupies today. This is proof of the usefulness and effectiveness of participating in “Young auditor” and a guarantee for future success.
