Chai Ming Tak

Majoring in accountancy does not restrict my studies to financial and management accounting/reporting, taxation and audit; it also covers economics, marketing, management, finance, law, information technology etc. My lecturers always share their experiences and latest issues in the business world to make the class more interesting and prepare us for the business world. I especially enjoyed the process of completing my independent graduation project which gave me the best opportunity to meet with directors and managers of a number of MNCs, the Big Four, renowned local companies and independent parties. This experience of meeting corporate leaders has prepared me to enter the corporate world
