CPA Kuching Member Centre Official Opening

On Monday night, the 10th of August, CPAASC committees were invited to the official opening of the new CPA Kuching Member Centre and the launch for the Book Drive for the less fortunate students of SJK(C) Chung Hua Sambir, Kota Samarahan. The event was officiated by the CPA Australia President, Mr Richard Petty and notable attendees are Ms Audrey Danasamy, President of CPA KL, Ms Christina Foo, the President, various members of CPA working committee and our advisors, Mdm Su Sueh Ing and Mr Chan Soon Hua.

One interesting feature is the changes in the requirements for the CPA Passport programme highlighted by the CPA President, Mr Richard Petty. From the gist of it, the new improved programme will enable more people to apply for the passport programme and become a CPA member. One example given by Mr Petty is that the old programme requirement used to stress the importance of accredited degree by the CPA to be able to apply.

The book drive is one of the initiatives by CPA Australia to improve people views on what the organisation is doing and also to improve their Corporate Social Responsibility. Mr Petty also stated that CPA Australia is the only one (among all the other accounting bodies) to have done this community service so far.
