Why Our Partners are On Board
Chua Hwee ThengTax Director, RSM TaxThe Competency Units and their corresponding learning outcomes are both comprehensive and practical. There is a good mix of fundamental accounting knowledge and practical industry skills needed in the real business environment. It is exciting to see the inclusion of emerging technologies such as blockchain, digital accounting and Artificial Intelligence (for example, the development of automatic scripts using robotic process automation software). This inspires learners to develop a growth mindset and equips them with the necessary competencies to embrace and leverage new technologies, enabling them to be future-ready as accountants of tomorrow.
Evan LawAssistant Chief Executive, Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)Nanyang Polytechnic’s Professional Competency Model equips learners with technical and generic skills. It is very much aligned with the Skills Framework for Accountancy and will certainly put graduates in good stead to embark on a career in the accountancy sector.

As forensic work usually involves the use of technology and predictive analytics, it is beneficial that technology is contextualised in the Competency Units.
