On Friday, January 20, 2017, UPH Career Center held a workshop for the Accounting students of UPH. The workshop was held at UPH Karawaci Tangerang, with key speakers from Ernst & Young (EY), to  talk about accountant as a profession as well as, how is it like working inside a Public Accountant Firm (PAF).

 

For the second year, EY held a workshop for UPH to support students who will graduate and enter the real professional world, especially in a career such as PAF in EY.

 

?Today we are here to give you more than just a general description about EY, but we want to talk about a profession, because I?m sure that most of the 2nd and 3rd semester student still have a very rough picture on what kind of profession would they want to do in the future. Thus, today we?re going to talk about Public Accountant Firm (PAF),? said David Sungkoro, EY Assurance Partner.

David also explained that PAF is a service provider for company with various backgrounds. Thus, those who are working in PAF will have the opportunity to interact with various kinds of middle-up class companies and they can know the real condition within those companies. As a global company, EY is present in 150 countries with approximately 212.000 human resources, and locally, EY has approximately 1.900 human resources in Indonesia.
 

Through this event, students could know about the services provided by EY for their client company. EY provides a variety of services including a directing team which will help the client to set a strategy to manage capital and transactions. EY also helps companies to achieve their utmost potential through its staffs who priors integrity, respect, teamwork, enthusiasm and energy. Along with its client, EY helps them to evaluate various opportunities, transaction efficiency and also to achieve the most strategic outcome for the company. EY offers various services such as Tax Services, Assurance Services and Advisory Services.

 

 

 

 

?With this workshop, we hope that UPH students can have a better understanding about public accountant and surely, for them to know EY Company as a PAF. Moreover, knowing that UPH is rather new, compared to other universities such as UI and others, we want to look for UPH graduates. It?s mainly because we know that UPH graduates have rather vast and global horizon, which is needed as in PAF,? David stated.

Aside from David, D. Pandu S. Dewa, EY Assistant Director, also reminded final year students to start developing their soft skills, rather than solely focusing on their hard skills in accounting, in order to enhance their competence.

 

 

?One?s soft skills are correlated with their personal branding ability, which can be seen during job interview session. In an interview, they have to understand their strengths, weaknesses and they also have to convey their needs thoroughly. We also think that those who want to work in a Public Accountant Firm needs to be able to work under pressure, which happens a lot in PAF. These soft skills will surely be needed to work in EY and any PAF,? said Pandu.
