Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, Press on, has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. -Calvin Coolidge 13 Visiting Faculty 14 Visiting Faculty Suriya, AbdulRahim Murad, Aslam Idress, MuhammadHanif Ahmad, Moiz Abbasi, Erum Department ofComputerScience Department ofAccountingandLaw Bachelor ofCommerce, UniversityofKarachi ICMAP CMA, atICMAP,Management &Accounting ICAP taught:CorporateCourses Law, Taxation, Financial Pakistan (PICG) InstituteofCorporate Governance Director,Certified Corporate Governance, ofPakistan (ICMAP) Accountants InstituteofCostandManagement FCMA, Punjab UniversityLahore (Finance,COBOLMAS Programming), ofPakistan InstituteofChartered Accountants CA, FCA, MBA (MIS),CBM,KarachiMBA ICMAP FCMA, FCA, CA FCA, Aslam Murad Associates Chief Consultant, InstituteofChartered A FCA, DHL Pakistan (Pvt)Ltd (CFO)Chief FinancialOfficer &CompanySecretary Dir TheCitizensF Deputy ChiefExecutive, ofPakistanThe InstituteofChartered Accountants Director,Executive MS (ComputerScience),SZABIS Bahria University, Karachi Assistant Professor, FC &Co.,Chartered Suriya Accountants A.R.

Therefore, reliance has to be placed on other sources of funding / financing such as endowments, etc. The income generated from these funds is utilized to supplement the faculty salaries, provide research funds to them, contribute to the hiring of foreign faculty / eminent scholars, academic program enhancement, case study development, external accreditation and professional development of academia through participation in seminars and conferences, both locally and internationally. All endowment funds are administered by the Board of Trustees which includes those organizations / persons who have donated or pledged a minimum amount of Rs. 30 million or more in cash or kind.
