ICPAS recently held a contest to engage the accounting sector and expand the CPA Singapore Facebook community.

The winner, Ms Elaine Lai, shares her thoughts on winning and her journey to becoming a CPA Singapore.

I was very happy when I saw that I was the winner. I couldn’t believe it at first and I must thank you, Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore, for the contest.

I came across this contest when I searching for information on how to become a CPA Singapore and I saw the Facebook page.

Initially, I clicked “like” on the Facebook page not for the prize but for two reasons.

Firstly, by clicking “like”, I will be able to receive updated information from the CPA Singapore Facebook page.

The other reason is to help CPA Singapore hit their target of “3000 likes” as soon as possible.

I am currently an ACCA student and to be frank with everyone, I am struggling to complete all my subjects.

It is not easy as the requirements are getting increasingly difficult. However, I am holding on to the mindset of “never ever give up”.

I believe that becoming a CPA Singapore and ICPAS member will help me climb the corporate ladder.

I am always looking for ways to be successful in my career and CPA Singapore is definitely one way for me to achieve my goals in life.
