BOOKKEEPING COURSES FOR SCHOOL CLERKS

*****

CLERKS WORKING IN AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOLS NOW HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES CONCERNING SCHOOLS.

AS FROM MARCH, THE DEPARTMENT'S ACCOUNTS DIVISION WILL ORGANISE A SERIES OF FOUR-DAY SEMINARS UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR TO HELP SCHOOL CLERKS TO MAINTAIN A SOUND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM BASED ON THE MODEL DEVELOPED BY THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.

THE SEMINARS WILL ALSO IMPROVE THE CLERKS' GENERAL ACCOUNTING SKILL AND ACQUAINT THEM WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE OF AID, THE EDUCATION ORDINANCE AND RELEVANT CIRCULARS OF FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING IN AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

THE CONTENTS OF THE SEMINARS, WHICH WILL BE HELD AT LUI KEE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CENTRE AT 269 QUEEN'S ROAD EAST, WILL INCLUDE LECTURES, DISCUSSIONS AND EXERCISES.

AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOL HEADS WHO WISH TO SEND THEIR CLERKS TO THESE SEMINARS SHOULD SUBMIT THE IR NOMINATIONS TO THE TREASURY ACCOUNTANT, ACCOUNTS DIVISION, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, LEE GARDENS, 4/F, HYSAN AVENUE, HONG KONG ON OR BEFORE FEBRUARY 23.

OWING TO LIMITED SEATING CAPACITY, EACH SCHOOL SHOULD

NOMINATE NOT MORE THAN TWO CLERKS AND APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON A FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED BASIS.

ENQUIRIES CONCERNING THE SEMINARS MAY BE MADE TO THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER (TRAINING), MR GREG LI, AT 5-8392413.
