It was with great pleasure that I received an email from Dr Rahat Munir from Macquarie University, head of ACCG315 ‘Accountants in the Profession‘ advising myself and the other industry partners that the unit had received a BHERT Award for ‘Outstanding achievement in excellence in accounting teaching collaboration’.
To be part of this innovative unit which focuses on exposing students to the many different parts of the accounting profession has been a fantastic experience and having just finished the second semester there is no doubt it has been a resounding success. And I can’t wait for first term next year !
And for the unit to now be recognised with the receipt of this award is a testament to the vision and dedication of Dr Philomena Leung, Dr Rahat Munir, The PACE department and Macquarie University overall. It also recognises the commitment of the industry partners who all believe in the importance of working with students whilst they are still studying to help them be more “job ready” when they graduate.
Below is a link to a video about the ACCG315 Unit prepared and recently ! http://youtu.be/kq2mT6AEvd0?list=PLRl3LQExZ1f2c5pvWvsJi_67fkmiz25C4
Congratulations to everyone involved. !
