On Wednesday 20 June 2012, Master of Professional Accounting delegation from the McCombs School of Business University of Texas at Austin visited SYSBS, which consisted of 29 students accompanied by 2 officers from their partnership CUHK Business School. During their visit, they attended a lecture given by Prof Qi Jiangna and had a face to face communication with the SYSBS MPAcc students which was a very good exchange. Followed by the school visit in the morning, SYSBS set up a visit for both parties’ students to Jabil Circuit (Guangzhou) Ltd. to meet their financial controller. Both the US and SYSU students benefited a lot for this exchange activity.
It will be the sixth year that these US accounting students come to CUHK to attend the month-long study program and every year they have a four-day trip to Guangzhou. This year it is the 2nd time for them to visit SYSBS. The objective of the study program is to let the US students understand more the Chinese management culture together with the finance and accounting practices.
