$15m plan by industry body to drive up S’pore chartered accountant numbers

Among the changes to help more aspirants join the programme and learn better are tie-ups with local universities to sponsor tuition for SCAQ candidates, a new dedicated study and learning space at 60 Cecil Street dubbed SCAQ Centre and a “study first, pay later” scheme.

Isca is also looking to provide around 200 scholarships a year for aspiring chartered accountants in universities and polytechnics, for both accountancy and non-accountancy graduates.

“The selection process will be done in partnership with the local universities and polytechnics,” it said in a statement on Dec 26.

Responding to queries from The Straits Times, Isca said the scholarships are targeted at the top 5 per cent of the graduating cohort of local institutions of higher learning, including universities and polytechnics.

HAHAHA so farnie. They want to con the top 5% to join their jhk sweat shop. Instead of joining much better MA programmes, join audit and work like a slave instead! Oh but no worries, you will get a nice study corner with free coffee !
