Dr. Tran Anh Hoa - Dean of UEH School of Accounting - shared that the urgent need of society for quality accounting and auditing human resources meeting international standards is increasing when Vietnam joined the TPP and the ASEAN Economy Community (AEC). Accordingly, accounting is one of eight professions that can be freely transferred between ASEAN countries. In this context, the accounting training program integrated with the CFAB plus international certificate helps students not only accumulate professional knowledge but also be equipped with professional skills and attitudes to practice according to international standards. 

 

"The students are fully capable of becoming potential talents for businesses in the fields of finance and accounting. The CFAB international certificate is one of the factors contributing to helping students work in many countries and be interested in Big 4 enterprises", shared by Dr. Tran Anh Hoa.
