In its commitment to provide students with a learning experience that propels them for a meaningful career in the future, Taylor’s organised its inaugural Taylor’s International Accounting Day 2022 (TIAD’22), supported by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA).

Co-hosted by Taylor’s College School of Professional Studies and Taylor’s Business School, TIAD’22 serves as a platform for students, fresh graduates, and working professionals alike to come together for a day intended for knowledge-sharing and networking.

Leveraging on the institution’s strong partnership with local and global industry players, the event brought together organisations such as MICPA x CA ANZ, GoKudos, and TraTax for their ‘meet-the-firm’ activities to allow attendees the opportunity to learn more about the accounting field.

This sets a strong foundation for those seeking a career in the accounting and financial field to increase their career prospects in the public, private or governmental area as they get to network with industry representatives in both the public and private sector.

At Taylor’s, we understand that a conventional syllabus can only get you so far. We believe that students should gain not only accounting acumen, but also a life-long career-building experience. Beyond just textbook learning, we also want to nurture young financial professionals to build a rewarding career where they can thrive in top corporate sectors supported by the resources and partnerships that we have to offer. Which is why we are hosting Taylor’s International Accounting Day – to enable students and prospects the ability to gain competitive advantage for their careers even before they graduate and build a platform where everyone including fresh graduates and seasoned professionals can connect with leaders in the field.

Given the economic challenges we have faced over the past few years, accountants and financial professionals are working harder than ever to ensure that the nation’s economic growth and stability are maintained and consistent. As the seeds of recovery are beginning to bloom, we owe our gratitude to the hard work and dedication of accounting and financial professionals for their tireless efforts to make businesses thrive, support the economy, and help people navigate the complexities of finance.
