According to CPA Justine Tushemereirwe, the Bishop Barham College bursar and a member of ICPAU in the Kigezi region, local residents, particularly A-level graduates, should consider enrolling in the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) course, emphasizing the importance of building a robust and well-trained pool of accounting professionals to support the growing business landscape in Uganda.
She added that the CPA qualification is a valuable asset that can open doors to numerous opportunities in the field of finance and accounting, reminding them that it can’t expire since you can work in your old age. Thus, urging the youth, especially those who have completed their A-level studies, to pursue this course, we can collectively boost the professional standards and expertise within the accounting sector.
