Discussion with Chairman, LEC Student Subcommittee on 20 Oct 09

The AISS Exco, together with our advisers from ACCA Singapore and ICPAS ESR, met with Mr Jeremy Hoon, Chairman of the Student Subcommittee and Partner, KPMG on 20 Oct 09 to discuss broad areas of cooperation in improving programs for ACCA and CAT students in Singapore. The Student Subcommittee is one of the subcommittees of the ACCA Local Executive Committee (LEC) which is spearheaded by prominent leaders of the local accounting and finance industry.

Maurice, AISS President, shared with Mr Hoon the slew of events that was lined up for students, including an FRS talk on 31 Oct 09 and a party in Jan 2010. Mr Hoon offered various suggestions on further programs that could be implemented, including one on resume writing/interview skills and an internship for students midway through the ACCA program.

The AISS Exco is grateful for Mr Hoon's inputs and will continue to work with our various stakeholders, including the LEC, ACCA Singapore and ICPAS ESR, to deliver exceptional benefits to the 18,500 students pursuing ACCA and CAT in Singapore.
