The Faculty of Management (FOM) team, led by Ms. Norzarina Md Yatim, embarked on an enriching school engagement programme at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Bandar Puncak Jalil on 13 September 2023. Dr. Abby Ashraff Saprudin, Ms. Nor Hazleza Mohamed, Ms. Noor Shahaliza Othman, Ms. Haslin Johari, and Mr. Zulkefly Yusup joined Ms. Norzarina in this educational endeavour.
The programme, which took place at SMK Bandar Puncak Jalil, aimed to empower students from the Social Science stream by introducing them to the world of accounting through AutoCount Accounting software. This initiative was part of FOM’s commitment to fostering financial literacy and preparing the next generation for future careers in accounting.
AutoCount Accounting, a widely used accounting software, was the focal point of the engaging session. The students were given hands-on experience and guidance on how to utilise this software effectively. The programme emphasised the importance of accounting in modern businesses and how mastering accounting software could provide a competitive edge in various industries.
The students at SMK Bandar Puncak Jalil were receptive to the programme, actively participating in the hands-on exercises and asking insightful questions. All in all, they left the session with a newfound appreciation for accounting and a desire to explore the field further.
