The Accountapreneur Challenge
The Accountapreneur Challenge is an initiative of RSM Chio Lim, the place where accountapreneurs are groomed. The objective of the Accountapreneur Challenge is to highlight the growing importance of the accountant to the success of an enterprise. The contest aims to stimulate thought amongst future accountants on their roles in the business community, against the backdrop of prevailing challenges and issues.
With the meltdown on the economic front, the 2008 challenge is:
"In today's volatile economic climate, what value add can an accountant bring to the entrepreneur?"
