Good news came to the figure of an outstanding student at STIE Perbanas Surabaya. Studying at the Bachelor of Accounting Department, a girl whose full name is Karima Fatmawati has won the Chartered Accountants (CA) Scholarship from the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI). From STIE Perbanas Surabaya, there are two students who received CA scholarships, namely himself and Rizal Efendi.

Contacted after receiving this information, Karima admitted that he was shocked and very grateful for this achievement. This student of class 2017 admits that later it will cost a lot to be able to take the CA certification exam because the exam gems have their own costs. "The first impression when I found out that I was a CA scholarship recipient, Alhamdulillah I was shocked and very grateful. If you take the regular route, it really costs a lot of money, because there are 7 exam subjects that still have to be paid for each of the exams, "he impressed when contacted on Friday, March 27, 2020.

This alumni of SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya said that before participating in the CA Scholarship selection, his party had taken the Basic Accounting Skills Certification Exam (USKAD) which was held by IAI at STIE Perbanas Surabaya the week before. "So I learned a lot from there. And, H-1 I was given examples of CA questions from seniors. In fact, the type of problem is not much different from the previous certification, it's just that the CA exam uses English, ”he explained.

According to Karima, getting this scholarship meant having a big responsibility to pass the CA exam until the end and get a CA degree. He has also prepared for the CA exam by searching for sources of information from the internet, both in the form of modules and references to other CA questions. "Apart from that, I will also ask about strategies in doing it, such as seniors and lecturers who have received CA degrees," he added.

Before ending the interview with the PR team, Karima also hopes that later he can pass the CA exam. "The hope is, of course, you can pass all CA exam subjects so that later you can get a CA degree. The reason is, this degree is sometimes very much considered when entering the business world. When I finish and graduate CA, I can have more added value than other graduates, "he hoped. (eko / hms)
