Deloitte FanTAXtic
FanTAXtic is just that. It’s an issues-based tax case study competition that focuses on a hypothetical, real life scenario. This year’s competition requires student teams to engage in a simulation exercise, role-play with Deloitte professionals and to make a presentation in Deloitte office telesuites. It offers….opportunities for networking with tax professionals and a chance to compete in a national event at Deloitte University. It’s not the usual student tax competition. It’s fun. It’s real world. It’s FanTAXtic. (Quote from http://careers.deloitte.com/tcs/).
How it works
Each year, Deloitte invites universities to participate in the Regional Competitions, which historically takes place in October. Following the regional events, the top teams (one first place team from each region) advances to the National Competition, which is held at Deloitte University—Deloitte’s new learning and leadership development center outside of Dallas, TX. The Deloitte FanTAXtic competition provides an opportunity for students from some of the nation’s top accounting and tax programs to gain real-world experience through participation in a unique interscholastic competition.
