3 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE ENROLLING FOR THIS EVENT
GST Intermediate is the most highly demanded GST seminar, and we know the reason why.
POINT ONE : UNIQUE CONTENT, OUTSTANDING SPEAKER Other GST seminar focus on just scratching the surface of “what is GST”, we specifically design this seminar to be practical in nature. We focus on not just “what is GST”, also on “how to implement GST”.
Conducted by renowned speaker, author and tax consultant, Dr Choong Kwai Fatt. His experience as member of Malaysia tax review board is invaluable.
POINT TWO : GREAT MATERIALS This is third session of GST Intermediate organized by Synergy TAS. First two session was sold out within a month of launching. We place emphasis on providing great materials. We give structure as to what you need to learn, by inserting the context. In addition, the content of the seminar is customized according to attendee of the seminar. Dr Choong prepares the seminar material based on industry of the participants. As such the contents are expanded according to attendee with focus being placed on GST concerns faced and its solutions will be presented during the seminar.
POINT THREE : WE LISTEN TO YOUR CONCERNS Most seminar focus on one sided communication, the speaker speaks whilst you listen. In GST: Intermediate, we focus on you, we listen before we speak.
