The 3 Days accounting workshop is organised by the Principles of Accounting Panel of Fully Residential School Management Division, Ministry of Education, supported by Malaysia Institution of Accountants (MIA) and was attended by 375 students from 11 boarding schools in Malaysia from 15 to 17 January 2023. Participants received hands-on training from three accounting Guru Cemerlang, providing students with the knowledge and skills to master the subject at SPM level and a solid foundation to succeed in the competitive world of accounting and finance in the future.
Leveraging on the institution’s community strength, Taylor’s College invited chartered accountants and business leaders Datuk Mohd Nasir Ahmad, Chairman of CIMB Group, and Izzad Shamsudin, Group Chief Financial Officer, KFC & Pizza Hut Malaysia to share valuable insights about the industry and inspire the students with their stories.
