The Seminar was attended by more than 12 staff members as well as final year students with questions raised based on the presentation but also on issues that are of hot topic not only in Samoa but also world wide in the Accounting profession such as Climate Finance, Forensic Audit

Conclusion & way forward:
Appreciation & better understanding from future Accountancy professions with more interest to learn more and to practice the same in the community
was our takeaway from this brief event, it was also a forum whereby the Samoa Institute of Accountants and the National University of Samoa Faculty
of Business & Entrepreneurship exchange ideas and views on the evolving accountancy profession as well as the digital world which also impacts on our
own profession. This invitation also strengthens our NUS Joint Task committee as well as Marketing for SIA to gain the interest from our local Universities and
better collaboration with the same Organisations.
