TAYLOR’S CENTRE FOR ACCOUNTANCY STUDIES

Taylor’s Centre for Accountancy Studies (TCAS) was established by the School of Accounting and Finance in March 2022 as a one-stop centre for our students to have a holistic and enhanced learning experience from Undergraduate Studies to Professional Studies through real-world and lifelong learning. 

At TCAS, we believe that a professional accounting qualification will provide the pathway into the fascinating world of accounting. Besides providing undergraduate students with advice and counselling on professional studies modules, TCAS will work closely with professional bodies to promote awareness about professional programmes among undergraduate students through jointly organising relevant talks, workshops and webinars, including on soft skills throughout the year; to work closely with employers to ensure opportunities to obtain internship or graduate placements with the top accounting firms as well as multinational corporations; and to work with relevant bodies to contribute towards training more Bumiputera accountants in Malaysia and exposing students to the latest accounting developments and financial technology so that students will be ready for the digital working environment. 

Thus, our vision is to be a leading one-stop centre for accountancy studies that produces accounting undergraduates with professional qualifications to meet the standards of the accounting profession in Malaysia.
