The Malaysian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA) teamed up
with Ernst & Young (EY) to promote internship opportunties for Bachelor of
Accounting students at Sungai Long Campus on 8 July 2015.
The MICPA Students Sponsorship Programme (SSP) developed by MICPA provides
accredited accounting degree students with a head start in pursuing a
professional qualification.
“Under SSP, chosen students will undertake two out of five modules of the
MICPA-CAANZ Programme in the final year of their undergraduate degree and
continue to pursue the remaining three modules upon graduation and
commencing full-time employment with a participating employer”, said MICPA
Senior Marketing Manager Eileen Grace Lee.
“This programme opens many doors; it will allow me to work globally.
Graduates of the MICPA-CAANZ Programme will obtain two professional
qualifications – CPA (Malaysia) and CA (ANZ)”, said SSP Programme candidate
and EY employee, Franklin Shepherdson. “Under the SSP, the employer will
sponsor your professional papers, thus easing your burden”, he added.
In return, the students will serve the employers as interns for a period of
at least six months and continue to serve the employers after the completion
of their degree for a minimum period of at least 3 to 4 years.
Participating employers besides EY includes, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, CIMB and
more.
