SAFIQS Joined Hands with CIMB in CIMB Be$MART Program

11 Aug 2017 5:34pm
In order to provide students with a holistic and practical overview of the necessary components of sound financial management, the APU School of Accounting, Finance and Quantitative Studies (SAFIQS) joined hands with CIMB Foundation to organise the CIMB Be$mart Program, that took place in APU last month. 
 
As part of the program, 60 students competed in an investment game. At the beginning of the game, each team was given RM500,000 and they were entitled to invest in different types of properties, unit trusts and equities. The team that was left with the most amount eventually became the winner. Among all teams, Team Wow emerged as the champion and each member won a Private Retirement Scheme for themselves! The members of Team Wow are:
 
1. Wong Kar Yi (TP043942)
2. Deiviya A/P Gunasekaran (TP043672)
3. Alia binti Abdul Aziz (TP039226)
4. Lavia Anak Stephen Budin TP038991
5. Liew Jin Hong   TP046090
6. Jeslyn Goh Chye Ying TP046235
7. Nur Atiqah Ardila Binti Mohd Nazri TP043831
8. Adawiah binti Mohd Sakri TP039206
9. Law Weng Kei TP046184
 

 

 

The 2 day program was certainly a useful program and it has benefited our students by exposing them towards future financial planning opportunities. Congratulations to Team Wow and Kudos to the lecturers from SAFIQS for co-organizing this meaningful program.

Field Trip to Public Bank

28 Jul 2017 5:20pm

Recently, the School of Management organised a field trip to Public Bank headquarters at Menara Public Bank, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. A total of 40 students from International Business Management and Human Resources Management programmes have participated in the industrial visit by Mr Kantharow Apparavu, and Ms Mazuwin bte Haja Maideen. The objectives of this visit was to expose the students towards real-life applications within the industries, to gain a better overview of the operations in line with the theoretical knowledge obtained from classrooms.

Three Public Bank staff members briefed the students about three core areas in banking operations: Human Capital Management, Retail Financial Services and Banking Operations. The students were also given a tour of the frontline operations, and the Department of Treasury. The visit enabled the students to relate their theoretical knowledge to practical aspects, such as product development, marketing, communication flow and network, certification to key industry standards, and resolution of customer claims.

 

The visit was successfully concluded with a brief speech of appreciation given by our representative to acknowledge Public Bank efforts in the informative sessions, and their hospitality and guidance throughout the visit at Menara Public Bank.
