Miri Commercial Institute conducts Practical GST Accounting course

Miri Commercial Institute will be conducting a two- day Certificate in Practical GST Accounting course this coming October 2014.

The objectives of the course are to provide an overview on the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) concepts, its implementation issues and to help businesses to prepare for GST when it is fully implemented on 1st April, 2015.

The other speaker is Frank Ting who is an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak and a GST tax advisor and consultant. He has extensive experience in corporate tax audit and tax investigating in various industries.

Although this course is specially tailored for accountants, financial controllers and bookkeepers, it is open to anyone who will be involved in GST preparation.
