The Business Research and Training Center (BRTC) at the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA), University of Macau, concluded its inaugural Career Advancement Program (CAP) series for accounting professionals in Macau. The training sessions took place over two weekends in September 2024 on the UM campus.

This new program series is the joint effort of BRTC and the Professional Committee of Accountants (CPC) to broaden the professional skills and knowledge of accountants in Macau, aligning with the region’s economic development. The first series were conducted in both Chinese and Portuguese, focusing on interpreting lease contracts under Macau’s legal system from an accountant’s perspective.

Conducted by Dr. Zhe Ma, a seasoned law instructor from the University of Macau, the executive training attracted a diverse audience of over 40 participants. These included top executives from insurance firms, auditors, partners, and senior managers from Big4 and local accounting entities, financial analysts, and practitioners from public and utilities sectors.

The success of this inaugural CAP series demonstrates the UM-FBA’s dedication to supporting the growth and development of Macau’s accounting community. Through the collaboration with different faculties, the BRTC provides accounting professionals in Macau with a wide scope of knowledge in various disciplines to cope with the ever-changing and competitive business world. Upon completion of the training sessions, participants will receive certificates issued by UM and the Professional Committee of Accountants (CPC) of Macau.
