In a press release issued on Saturday, the ministry said the roadshow targeted students of the institution, providing early exposure to the accounting profession while encouraging them to begin planning their academic pathways towards careers in accounting after graduation.

Dayangku Masleda Pengiran Daud, acting director at the Revenue Division of MOFE, highlighted the importance of producing more professionals in the accounting field, including qualified auditors and accountants, to meet the increasing demand for their services.
