MICPA Talk

Hey members! Heads-up!
I know you are all probably anxiously trying to meet your assignment deadlines and all but why not spare some time to come for our last activity for this semester!

This time, the club is proud to invite Mr. Foo Yoke Pin, the Executive Director of the MICPA qualification himself, as well as Ms. Lee How Lai, one of the MICPA’s Examination Officers! IF you think the MICPA is only secondary to all other accounting qualifications out there, THINK AGAIN.

Which other professional do you know that:
i) consist of only 1 exam with 5 modules
ii) allows you to gain 2 titles with the completion of just one paper
iii) allows you obtain the ACCA title by taking just 1 more paper
iv) allows you to have a shorter pathway towards the ICAEW
v) allows you to obtain the CFiA (Certified Financial Accountant)

If you see yourself scaling the corporate ladder in Malaysia, this professional qualification will probably allow you to do just that! This is a great opportunity for students who have not heard of the MICPA and would like to gain some insight and information on the requirements of becoming part of the MICPA.

Details of the presentation are as follows:
Date: Thursday, 29th April 2009
Time: 2-4pm
Venue: Plenary Theater

Feel free to contact Ibnu Herbovo, the Assistant Publicity Officer at 014-3341134 if you still have no idea of the venue by then!

See you there!
