Today’s egg is better than tomorrow’s chicken, most importantly now DDTC has the commitment to improve its staff quality and a golden opportunity was given to me and 8 other staff to attend a course in Singapore regarding Getting a Good Deal by Understanding Taxation Aspects of Mergers & Amalgamations and Tax Due Diligence. This course was conducted by Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA).

The course conducted on 21 March 2017 thoroughly reviewed the taxation aspect on the merger and amalgamation of companies, and the steps to conduct Tax Due Diligence. What made this course different and interesting was the method used by the lecturer to convey the materials to the participants. The lecturer used Round Table Discussion method in which the participants are required to actively participate in group discussion, present the discussion results before the lecturer conveys related materials. The highly communicative lecturer would sometimes share his experience in completing the mergers of companies, this spiced up the discussion. Through this course, I have finally understood about merger and amalgamation, tax aspects and the practices in that country.

Moreover, I was also given the opportunity some of the most popular photo spots in Singapore such as Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands and other interesting ones. Prior to returning to Indonesia, I had the chance to visit Sky Park, where I was able to see the beautiful view from 190 metres high.

I am so thankful to DDTC for the golden opportunity for me to study abroad. I do trust where there is hope, there is opportunity. Thank you DDTC. DDTC is Great!!!
