CUHK Business School PACC students set foot in the tech-transformed business landscape in London
A group of Global Accounting stream students from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School Professional Accountancy Programme (PACC) recently returned from a nine-day study trip in London, gaining eye-opening insights and cherished memories.
The study trip provided the students with firsthand exposure to how emerging technologies are reshaping global business across various industries. The students visited the Amazon warehouse and witnessed how robotic technology has transformed the company’s operations. During visits to the London offices of Deloitte and Google, the students observed the real-life application of generative AI in the accounting and healthcare sectors. The students also visited the European headquarters of Bloomberg, where they learned how the company utilises data and technology to support financial decision-making for its customers worldwide.
In addition to the insightful company visits, the students attended thought-provoking seminars at the University of Cambridge on contemporary business issues related to environmental accounting and earnings manipulation. They also participated in a career workshop at the London office of Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
The trip concluded with a networking dinner with PACC alumni currently based in London. The alumni shared their diverse career journeys, inspiring the students to explore a myriad of professional possibilities.
