Debriefing and Assistance for the Accounting Competition Team Regarding the Independent Campus Competition Program—Session 2

Parahyangan Catholic University’s Accounting Study Program won a Competition Grant (Hibah Kompetisi) in the Ministry of Education and Culture’s Merdeka Campus Competition Program in 2021. With regard to the achievement of this competition grant, Parahyangan Catholic University’s Accounting Study Program organized a series of activities, one of which was the debriefing and mentoring of the Accounting Competition Team by inviting accounting alumni and practitioners to deliver the materials for around 35 students of the Accounting Competition Team selected from the classes of 2018 and 2019.

The students gained a variety of knowledge experiences with current topics relevant to the competition and the future of the competition team in the workplace. On Saturday, July 31, 2021, an online debriefing was held by inviting UNPAR Accounting Alumni from the class of 2011, Mr. Cliff Cornelius Salim, co-owner of building material distribution company, PT Surya Abadi Isolasi, and also co-owner of OneZo West Java network in the field of controlling. On this occasion, he presented a business theme in the midst of a pandemic, which was very interesting for the Accounting Competition Team of UNPAR’s Faculty of Economics. The session opened with an introduction to the speaker’s background and information about the two companies. As someone who is experienced in the distribution of building materials as well as food and beverages, he gave a brief overview of problems that occurred, especially during the PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities) period. This activity was closed with a conclusion and the delivery of tips and tricks for participants and all UNPAR Accounting students who want to try a franchise business.
