"The preparation that we are doing is starting with compiling and preparing papers that will be contested based on the systematics that our team has previously formed. The systematics includes the process of brainstorming, selecting titles, discussing the results of ideas and other relevant matters. Then we submit papers and enter the selection stage for the final round. After the announcement of the top 5 passes, we prepared the material provided by the committee for us to present in the final round in front of 2 judges who have basic knowledge in accounting and auditing. Gonie said on behalf of his team
We have gone through many things together in this competition process, many ups and downs as well, “For many fun things, we were able to hone our ability to think critically, gain experience in presenting ideas in front of many parties and increase relations from various regions. in Indonesia, for grief, there were several obstacles in the competition, especially the limited time, because we were taking up our thesis and there were several other agendas so the focus was divided, but with all that we were able to get through everything so that we were able to encourage us to do the best time management possible” . he continued
"Our hope is that the achievements made by UPNVJ students can and will continue to grow and increase. We also hope that students can take advantage of the momentum of this pandemic so that they can always be used to be more productive by doing various things that support our self-actualization. We also hope that the achievements we have made can bring motivation for other friends to always improve the competitive attitude of each individual.” Close Gonie and team
