Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) Accounting graduate Lau U Hao was awarded the Top Singapore Performer for ACCA Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA) paper at the March 2021 exam session in Singapore.

“I am very grateful for this award. UTAR has provided a strong platform and incentives for the undergraduates to have early participation in ACCA, for instance, ACCA Accelerate Programme, UTAR-ACCA Scholarship and ACCA Preparatory and Revision classes.”

He added, “I am a believer that strategy is not the consequence of planning, but the opposite; it’s the starting point. So it is important that we start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and we will realise that we are doing the impossible.”
