Educational Visit
18th January 2024
Our office had the pleasure of hosting around 60 vibrant students, aged 15 to 16, from Bukit Panjang Government High School. Their energy filled the third floor as they eagerly explored the world of work and gained insights into life beyond their upcoming milestone—the O Levels Exam.
As professionals, we may look back with a hint of nostalgia at their carefree student days, while they, in turn, may admire the paths we’ve taken in our careers. What stands out most is their boundless curiosity and enthusiasm—qualities we can all strive to carry forward in our own lives, embracing positivity and a youthful spirit in every endeavour.
We also had the pleasure of hosting final-year accounting students from a local university for an insightful session titled Accountant of Tomorrow. The event began with a focus on the growing importance of sustainability and digital skills in shaping the future of accounting.
Students explored the evolving ESG landscape, the critical issue of greenwashing in business, and how data science is transforming accounting practices. They also heard personal experiences from participants in our Graduate Accountant-Advisor Programme (GAAP). The session concluded with valuable insights on professional success, followed by an engaging discussion over refreshments, which fostered meaningful connections.
A heartfelt thank you to the students for their enthusiasm and curiosity, and to the team for making this event a success.
