The 1st International Accounting and Tax Research Symposium, jointly organized by the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) of the University of Macau and the Korean Academic Society of Taxation (KAST), was successfully held on 22 August 2025 at FBA.
The event opened with warm remarks from Professor Lawrence Hoc Nang FONG, Associate Dean of FBA, and Professor Seong Bong LEE, President of KAST.
