On the 23^rd of March 2012, SCSC club hold a CPA (Australia) talk at Victoria University, Sunway College, KL. This talk was opened to public; those who attended the talk were mostly students from semester 1 and 2. Before the CPA talk started, the members of SCSC Club gathered at AUP office to get the CPA T-shirt and did some preparation too, so that the event will run smoothly. The representative from SCSC club had made some announcements in the classes a week before CPA talk was held, because they have to register at AUP office before attending the talk. The brochures were distributed to the students and after that, Daphne, the president of SCSC Club introduced the guest speaker to them, which was Miss Kuan from CPA Australia.

During the talk, Miss Kuan introduced CPA Australia to the students. CPA Australia is an accounting body in Australia that provides services include education, training, technical support and advocacy for locally and internationally. Meanwhile, she asked the students to fill up the form that had been distributed, it was a “CPA passport” that would allow students to get more information and working opportunities from CPA Australia. On the other hand, Ms.Kuan also showed them a video of the members from CPA Australia who worked in Adidas Company and some career opportunities when working with a CPA Australia title. The talk was very useful for the students, it gave them opportunities to know more about CPA Australia and how the career path looks like when working as an accountant, not only in accounting companies but also in other companies.

At the end of the talk, a video of SCSC Club was shown and then Yvonne, Han and Netty did a presentation to promote SCSC Club to the students, and also invite them to join the club, since SCSC Club was recruiting new members. All of them did a good job and the students looked satisfied with the presentation.

All in all, the objective of this event was to give better knowledge to students and also giving them more insight about CPA Australia. On the other hand, some improvements are needed as the members discussed in the next meeting, such as announcement of the event must be taken earlier before the event and a mini rehearsal for those who will present in the event, so that they will be more prepared and present better during the event.
